THE ESSENTIAL RESULTS OF THE BOSNIAN-HERZEGOVINIAN HISTORIOGRAPHY OF THE OTTOMAN PERIOD (FROM 1463 TO THE END OF THE EIGHTEEN CENTURY) IN THE PAST TWO DECADES OF THE TWENTIETH CENTURY

Summary/Abstract: All the mentioned studies, papers and contributions on the history of Bosnia-Herzegovina of the Ottoman period to the end of the XVIII century, published as monographs, articles at home and in foreign journals, in the course of the past twenty years enriched our knowledge so far. It is already possible to say a turning point was done in writings of this interesting historically rich period. The works were passed on the published and unpublished archival collections and professional literature. The real progress in certain fields and periods cannot neglect the unsatisfactory researches of some other questions that should be reconsidered and be given the proper attention. The orientalists' future task and of the historians should be: to translate and publish the rich archival collections, the Oriental one, but those of West origin, as well. Dealing with the question, the equal attention should be given to the documents from our and foreign archival collections. The published catalogues have already been of a great help to the scholars, to get to know the abundance of some archives in the country, first of all, that of the Gazi Husrevbeg's Library. Also, there is a lack of works on the urban environment, the known personalities, economy and creative work of the native people. The monographs and other works should be written based on the authentic archival collections, published documents and professional literature, written dearly and to be a fair account of a certain question, truth, no myths being spellbound by them should be the objectives of each scholar. Those, who think in a different way, do harm to oneself and to those people, who, one wants to please. The real scholar, his place and reputation is provided by truth, he researches and writes about.
