    The history of Turkology research in croatia and of the chair of Turkology of the faculty of humanities and social sciences in Zagreb
    (Hrvatski Institut za Povijest, 2015) Vlasic, Andelko; Researcher; College of Social Sciences and Humanities; N/A
    In this paper, based on archival records of the Archive of the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences of the University of Zagreb and on relevant literature, the history of individual and institutional Turkology research in Croatia is analyzed. The Oriental Collection of HAZU was formed in Zagreb in 1927 and on the same year HAZU tasked German Turkologist Franz Babinger with collecting Oriental manuscripts in Croatia and Bosnia and Herzegovina. The following year, Russian Turkologist Aleksey Olesnitski took over that task and in the following years he collected 1966 manuscripts, 660 documents and over 500 books for the Oriental Collection, as well as wrote numerous valuable works. Besides that, in 1937, Olesnitski was named lecturer of Turkish language at the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences in Zagreb, but his work was stopped by his early death in 1943. Olesnitski's scientific work in the field of Turkology was preceded by the work of Ćiro Truhelka on the beginning of the 20th century. From the 1970s onwards that work was continued by Muhamed Ždralović, from the 1980s by Nenad Moačanin, from the 1990s by Ekrem Čaušević, Vesna Miović and Tatjana Paić-Vukić, while in the new millennium Kornelija Jurin Starčević, Vjeran Kursar, Dino Mujadžević, Marta Andrić, Barbara Kerovec and Azra Abadžić Navaey joined the Turkology research of their predecessors. On the other hand, the place of the professor of Turkish language at the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences, that was suddenly extinguished in 1943, was revived in 1994 with the launch of the Chair of Turkology with Ekrem Čaušević as Head, Marta Andrić, Barbara Kerovec and Azra Abadžić Navaey as lecturers, two foreign language instructors and associates from the Faculties of Humanities and Social Sciences in Zagreb and in Sarajevo.

    Georgius huszthius, a traveller from Croatia, and his account of the Ottoman naval campaign in India (1538-1539)
    (akademiai Kiado Rt, 2015) Vlasic, Andelko; Researcher; College of Social Sciences and Humanities; N/A
    This paper analyses the description of the Ottoman naval campaign in india (1538 - 1539) in the travelogue of the Croatian traveller Georgius Huszthius, A trumpeter in the fleet of Hadim Suleyman Pasha during the indian campaign; thus he is an excellent witness to these events. the aim is to compare Huszthius's account with other primary sources for the mentioned events and secondary sources published up to now. Huszthius's travelogue named Descriptio peregrinationis Georgii Huszthii and published in 1881 is historically significant, because it gives us new information about the mentioned Ottoman campaign and also corroborates the testimonies of the Portuguese chroniclers and of an anonymous venetian author whose journal Viaggio di un comito veneziano da alessandria all' assedio di Diu was published in venice in 1540. Huszthius's and the unknown venetian's works represent the only two first-hand accounts of the indian campaign from the side of the crew of the Ottoman fleet. their works confirm Portuguese primary sources and give us a more balanced view on Hadim Suleyman Pasha's naval campaign. Huszthius's travelogue's section concerning the Ottoman naval campaign in india and the siege of Diu still has not been fully examined by Turkish historians and this paper is an attempt to ameliorate that situation.
