Military Border in Practice: Slavonian Border in 1578

Na temelju izvorne građe i literature, autorice rekonstruiraju kontekst nastanka jedne opširne relacije o stanju na Slavonskoj krajini 1578. godine, donose obavijesti o glavnim akterima te objašnjavaju niz postupaka i akata koje se u relaciji spominje. Relacija je nastala kao završni rezutat rada trojice visokih unutrašnjoaustrijskih povjerenika koji su u srpnju spomenute godine obišli cijelu Slavonsku krajinu te vojsci i zapovjednicima obznanili novi ustroj krajine dogovoren na saboru u Brucku, objavili novovažeće akte i hijerarhijsku ljestvicu, pregledali i popisali vojsku te utvrdili stanje građevina i obrambenog sustava na Slavonskoj krajini. U prilogu znanstvenog rada donose kritički prijepis i prijevod relacije.Based on sources and literature the authoresses analysed the description (Relation) of the Slavonian Border from July 1578. They reconstructed and explained various procedures, measures and decrees mentioned in the relation, and provided information on persons cited in it. The relation was composed by the committee consisting of three Inner-Austrian high commissioners. In July 1578, they traversed the Slavonian Border in order to announce newly agreed organisation of the Military Border, to make public new orders and hierarchies, to examine and conscript the army and inspect the condition of fortresses and defence system on the Slavonian Border. Writing of the relation was the final stage of their work. Following the article, the authoresses provided the critical transcription of the relation and its translation from German into Croatian
