Title:
Selected aspects of the economic activity of the inhabitants of Dubrovnik in the lands occupied by the Turks in the second half of the 15th and the beginning of the 16th century

Description:
Despite the increasing threat from the Turks and the chaos they brought to the Balkans, the first half of the 15th century was a period of economic boom in the Dubrovnik Republic. Thanks to skilful diplomacy and the activity of Dubrovnik merchants, the city’s trade flourished. As Turkish conquests in the Balkans progressed, the ability of the people of Dubrovnik to function in the new conditions became a key issue. The author analyzed selected aspects of the economic activity of the people of Dubrovnik in the territories occupied by the Turks in the second half of the fifteenth and early sixteenth centuries. The study considers their involvement in the extraction and trade of minerals (mainly silver and lead), and their activity in the trade of salt and forest, field and stall goods. The collected material shows that the Turkish invasion put the Dubrovnik merchants in a difficult situation. Trade in Bulgaria collapsed temporarily. In Bosnia and Serbia, the crisis first affected the mining and trade of silver, and then lead. However, even in the most difficult moment, the Ragusans were able to maintain the exchange of other goods with lands in the Bosnian and Serbian hinterlands. They also managed to defend their salt trade and skillfully reorganize the grain trade. As shown by the example of the Bulgarian lands, they were even able to regain previously lost positions under changed conditions.;
Mimo narastającego zagrożenia ze strony Turków i chaosu jaki wnieśli oni na Bałkany, pierwsza połowa XV w. była okresem rozkwitu gospodarczego Republiki Dubrownickiej. Dzięki zręcznej dyplomacji i aktywności kupców dubrownickich, handel miasta rozkwitał. W miarę postępu tureckich podbojów na Bałkanach, kluczową kwestią stała się zdolność Dubrowniczan do funkcjonowania w nowych warunkach. Autor dokonał analizy wybranych aspektów aktywności gospodarczej Dubrowniczan na ziemiach zajętych przez Turków w drugiej połowie XV i początkach XVI w. W pracy rozpatrzono ich zaangażowanie w wydobycie i handel kopalinami (głównie srebro i ołów), oraz ich działalność w handlu solą i towarami leśnymi, polnymi i kramarskimi. Z zebranego materiału wynika, iż najazd turecki postawił dubrownickich kupców w trudnej sytuacji. Przejściowo upadł handel na terenie Bułgarii. Na terenie Bośni i Serbii kryzys dotknął najpierw wydobycie i handel srebrem a następnie ołowiem. Jednak nawet w najtrudniejszym momencie Ragusanie potrafili podtrzymać wymianę innymi towarami z ziemiami na bośniackim i serbskim zapleczu. Zdołali także obronić swój obrót solą i umiejętnie przeorganizować handel zbożem. Jak pokazuje przykład ziem bułgarskich w zmienionych warunkach potrafili nawet odzyskać utracone wcześniej pozycje.
