Granice Župe i nahije Ras u srednjem i ranom novom veku (14-16. vek)

Abstract

Rad se bavi utvrđivanjem prostora koji je obuhvatala oblast Rasa u vreme Nemanjića, oblasnog gospodara Vuka Brankovića i Turaka Osmanlija. Srednjovekovna naselja oblasti Rasa, mahom ona koja su pripadala vlastelinstvu manastira Banjska ili bila u njihovom susedstvu, su već poznata istoriografiji ali su u ovom radu ponuđena neka nova rešenja ubikacije. Na osnovu osmanskih deftera iz XV i XVI veka, utvrđene su granice vilajeta odnosno Nahije Ras koje odgovaraju zatečenom stanju na terenu iz prve polovine XV veka. Na prostoru Nahije Ras postojalo je tada oko 100 sela.

The paper aims to determine the area of the Ras district at the time of the Nemanjićs, local magnate Vuk Branković and the Ottoman Turks. The medieval settlements of the Ras district, mainly those belonging to the Banjska monastery or in their vicinity, are already known to historiography. This paper, however, offers some new solutions of ubication. Based on Ottoman defters from the 15th and 16th centuries, the borders of the vilayet, i.e. nahyie of Ras which correspond to the situation in the field from the first half of the 15th century have been determined. The area of the Ras nahiye had around 100 villages at the time.
