THE SANJAK OF PLJEVLJA AND THE COUNTY OF PLJEVLJA IN
THE OFFICIAL ANNALS OF KOSOVO VILAYET FOR 1896 YEAR
TH
Abstract: The Ottoman documents represent an unavoidable factor related
to the research and studying of the history of our areas. Among these documents,
salnama takes a very important position or differently said – official annals –
representing statistical reports published by the central or local authorities of
the Ottoman State. The topic of our paper actually represents transcription and
translation of a part of salnama of the Kosovo Vilayet, dated from 1896, and it
is related to the Sanjak of Pljevlja and County of Pljevlja. Salnama, here, was
printed in the printing office of the Kosovo Vilayet in Skoplje and it consists of 793
pages. The official clerk of the Ottoman Archive in Istanbul, Yıldırım Ağanoğlu,
transcribed these salnamas and published in 2000, under the title 1896 (Hicri
1314) Kosova Vilayeti Salnamesi (Üsküp, Priştine, Prizren, İpek, Yenipazar,
Taşlıca), thus, we used his transcription in this paper with very small corrections,
mostly related to the local toponyms.
Key words: Pljevlja, official annals, Sanjak of Pljevlja, Kosovo Vilayet.
