Description
Summary:The study treats the role of Ragusan merchants in Catholic confessionalization in the Ottoman Balkans. In the period when denominations appeared, the most striking feature of the Ottoman Empire was the lack of Christian secular power. Under Ottoman rule, religious life in the cities was organized and controlled by the rich merchants, especially Ragusans, not by landowners or urban patricians. The Ragusan archbishop exercised jurisdiction over the merchant colonies in the Balkans. At the beginning of the 17th century, missionaries of Catholic reforms arrived in the Balkans, threatening the age-old jurisdictional rights of Ragusan merchants by establishing autonomous church structures in a very short time. The chapels of Sofia, Novi Pazar and Bel- grade hosted scenes of serious disputes within Ragusan chaplains and merchants on one side, and missionary prelates, Bosnian tradesmen and Franciscans on the other. The author examines the conflicts and presents conclusions regarding politics, economic and church history as well as canon law.
