Description
This article is the continuation of the discussion published in the publication Arhivi in 2010. It brings new data on the baptisms of Ottoman prisoners of war in Slovenian territory during the Battle of Vienna (1683–1699) and in the years prior to the battle and after it. The research is based primarily on the systematic review of baptismal registers, whereas it also covered three big cities on the outskirts of the Slovenian ethnic territory (outside current Slovenian territory), Trieste, Gorizia, and Klagenfurt. The registrations of baptisms this time contain inappropriately more substantial amount of information on the geographical origin, former name and parents of baptized persons. The attachment provides all known texts of the records about baptized persons (32 from baptismal records and two from other sources), records on three potential baptized persons, and unsuccessful baptism of janissary in integration form. New data on baptisms and already baptized persons are significantly complementing the current picture of the baptism of Ottoman subjects, Ottoman prisoners of war in the Slovenian territory. Now, we know of 97 registers of baptisms in registers of births, marriages and deaths in total (1594–1717), 21 of which were in three city parishes of today's neighbouring countries (Trieste, Gorizia, and Klagenfurt). Other sources reveal seven records on baptisms or baptized persons that refer to 11 persons (1650–1707). In addition, we have three examples of wedded Ottoman women from the civil register of marriages, and the baptism record is available for only one of them. Furthermore, we find an already wedded Ottoman woman who was baptized (1691), three potential baptized persons are known from different sources (1665–1691). In the light of the current studies it can be observed, at least as far as baptismal registers are concerned, that significant new discoveries may no longer be expected, but merely completion of the existing ones. Individual findings, on subsequent fate of Ottoman baptized persons in particular, can still considerably sharpen the current picture.
