What does the Dubrovnik State Archive tell us about the Ottomans? The case study of the Bosnian governor Ali Pasha Hekimoglu (1736 - 1740)

The Dubrovnik State Archive holds a rich and historically valuable collection of Ottoman documents collected in a serie Acta Turcarum. It contains more than 15, 000 Ottoman documents issued by the sultans and the neighboring Ottoman authorities to the Republic of Dubrovnik. Among various political and legal acts issued to Ragusans by local Ottoman officials, the orders of the Bosnian beylerbey (governor), a so called buyuruldis, stand out by its importance. The paper focuses on a fruitful archival correspondence between the Republic of Dubrovnik and the Bosnian governor Ali Pasha Hekimoğlu (1736 - 1740), that provides a vivid picture of their complex relations, but also a valuable insight into the changing image of the 18th century Bosnian governors.
