Abstract
Primarna arhivska građa osmanskoga podrijetla obiluje mnoštvom podataka o prošlosti onih predjela koji su se određeno vrijeme u prošlosti nalazili u okvirima granica Osmanskoga Carstva, kao i ljudima koji su ih nastanjivali. Među dokumentima te vrste iznimno su važni kroki nacrti odluka donesenih na zasjedanjima Divana, koji su bilježeni u posebnu vrstu knjiga zvanih mühimme defterleri. U muhimme defterima iz perioda 1574.-1576. godine (br. 24, 25 i 26) sačuvani su nacrti nekoliko instrukcija upućenih Ali-begu Sokoloviću, koji je u navedenome periodu vršio funkciju kliškoga sandžakbega. Između ostaloga, u svesku br. 25 sačuvan je cjelokupan prijepis popisa s imenima nekolicine vojnihosoba, zajedno s Ali-begovom molbom da im se dodijeli stimulacija zbog iskazane hrabrosti u jednome sukobu s Uskocima u Kliškome sandžaku. Na popisu su navedena imena krupnih zaima i spahija, među kojima su zastupljeni i pripadnici elitnih krajiških obitelji Sokolović, Malkočević, Kopčić, Atlagić te neki drugi članovi osmanske administracije kao i pojedini članovi posada nekoliko tvrđava u Kliškome sandžaku. Zbog opsega dokumenta on neće biti preveden u cijelosti nego će, uz dodatna objašnjenja, biti navedeni samo oni podaci koji pružaju neke nove informacije o dijelu svakodnevice osmansko-mletačkoga prigraničja u dalmatinskome zaleđu u drugoj polovini 16. stoljeća.Archival sources of Ottoman provenance abound in data documenting the history of territories that were at some point in history within the borders of the Ottoman Empire, as well as people inhabiting these areas. Among the documents of this type, an exceptionally important group consists of sketchy outlines of decisions made at the Divan meetings, entries in special books called mühimme defterleri. In the period 1574-1576, these books (nr. 24, 25, and 26) preserve the outlines of instructions given to Ali-beg Sokolović, who was the sanjak bey of Klis in the given period. Among other things, Book 25 contains the entire copy of the list of names of several military functionaries, together with Ali-beg’s request to grant them a stimulating award for the bravery they had shown during a conflict with the Uskoks in the Klis Sanjak. The list includes names of important zaims and spahis, among them members of elite families in Krajina such as the Sokolović, Malkočević, Kopčić, and Atlagić families, as well as some other members of the Ottoman administration and several members of fortification garrisons in the Klis Sanjak. As the document is very extensive, it has not been translated in entirety; instead, those excepts have been included, with annotations, which offer some new information about the everyday life in the Ottoman-Venetian frontier region in the Dalmatian hinterland during the second half of the 16th century
