Reshaping Nobility: Formation of the new Christian elite in Ottoman Serbia (15th-18th century)

Publishing of The Summary Register of the Kruševac Sancak from 1516

A member of our project team, Dr. Dragana Amedoski, has published a book Summary Register of the Kruševac Sancak from 1516 / 1516 Tarı̇hlı̇ Alacahı̇sār Sancāğı İcmāl Defterı̇: Transkrı̇psyon, Sırpçaya Tercüme ve Tıpkıbasım within the Sources for Serbian History edition of The Institute of History in Belgrade.

The book presents a critical edition of the oldest and most completely preserved Ottoman register of the Kruševac Sancak. The source is highly significant as it shows, among other things, how many members of the Serbian nobility in this region entered Ottoman service as spahis (cavalrymen) holding timars.
