Žene iz Bosne na tržištu roblja u Dubrovniku 1279-1301. / Women from Bosnia on the Slave Market in Dubrovnik 1279-1301

Abstract

Slave trade in Middle Ages and slavery in general is a phenomenon that can be viewed from many aspects: the economic, social, cultural and even the religious one. On the basis of existing achievements of earlier historiography and following the available source material, we attempted to consider the institution of slavery within the context of economic and social history of medieval Bosnia. Particular attention is devoted to the position and role of women in medieval society considering the fact that more women than men were traded in the slavery business.
