Visoki i Podvisoki u odlukama vijeća Dubrovačke Republike (1415-1444) - Ispisi arhivske građe
Visoki and Podvisoki in the Deliberations of the Ragusans Councils (1415-1444) - Excerpts from archival sources

Summary/Abstract: The Visoko valley is one of the territorial and political units from which the medieval Bosnian state developed. During the Middle Ages, there were several political, economic and religious centers in this area, which made this area an extremely important part of the Bosnian state. The significance of Visoko and its surroundings has been recognized and adequately addressed in historiography. The excerpts presented in this paper come from the Deliberations of the Councils of Ragusa: the Major Council, the Minor Council and the Consilium Rogatorum, which are stored in the Dubrovnik State Archives. The presented excerpts that mention Visoki and Podvisoki have been identified and used in earlier historiographical approaches to this area, but also referred to in publications on cities and trade in medieval Bosnia. However, these data have not yet been published in the form of complete excerpts. Although this paper covers both of these places, Podvisoki as an economically strong downtown (suburbium) of a very important fortress, is mentioned more often. These documents are mostly related to Ragusan merchants who lived in these places during this period, or had their business activities. Most of the data in which Podvisoki as an economic center is mentioned, come from the deliberations of the Minor Council. These are mostly deliberations on the formation of judicial commissions, which list the names of consuls and two judges, after that a prosecutor and finally the names of one or more accused persons.
