power in Europe starting from the 14th century onwards, has led to the
creation of a pejorative Turkish image in the memory of European Christians
throughout Europe. The struggle between Turks and European societies and
the centuries of struggles and defeats have determined the Turkish image in
the world of European thought. From this point of view, the Turks were
envisioned as horrible, barbaric, and people who were fed with feelings of
hatred towards themselves, a punishment sent by God and wrath of God. This
pejorative image created by the Turks in the minds of Europeans has been
verbalised by various literary and folklore products up to the present day, and
Turkish perception that exists in the minds of Europeans has inspired the
literacy such as novels, ballads, epics. On the other hand, in the era of
romantic nationalism, the pejorative Turkish perception and the Turkish
hostility in the minds of the peoples living in the Balkan region, which
constitute the most complex region of Europe in terms of multiethnic
structure, have a great role in the formation of their national history and
identities. In this study, we will focus on how Turks and Turkish images are
reflected in the heroic poems of Slavic communities that we defined as
Southern Slavs, living in the borders of Bosnia, Herzegovina, Croatia, Serbia
and Montenegro. We will also try to determine effect of the ethnic and religious
identities of the Catholic, Orthodox and Muslim epic narrators on the
structure of the epics and the Turkish image in the epics. The aim of this
study is to reveal the positive and negative characteristics of the Turkish
image formed by the influence of the Turkish domination that has lasted for
centuries in the depths of the South Slavs through the epics of folklore
products which best reflect the collective subconscious of societies.

Boşnaklar ve Bosna Hersek hakkında günümüze değin Türkiye’de yapılan çalışmalarda yerel kaynakların yeterince kullanılmamasının ciddi bir eksik olduğu düşünülürse, Boşnakların Tarihi bu eksikliği gidermesi ve Güney Slavları ile alakalı Türkiye’deki akademik literatüre olan katkısı bakımından paha biçilemez bir eserdir. Böyle temel bir eserin Türkçeye kazandırılması bu alandaki çok büyük bir açığı kapatacaktır. Fakat gerek
eser, gerek tercümesi ve gerekse de takdim yazısında karşılaştığımız birtakım ifadeler, çeviride kullanılan bazı kavramlar ve bizzat yazarın verdiği bazı bilgiler dikkat çekici bulunduğundan, bu konuda oluşabilecek muhtemel yanlış anlamaların önüne geçilmesi amacıyla bu yazıyı kaleme alma gereği hâsıl olmuştur. Değerlendirmeler, takdim yazısı, çeviride izlenen yöntem ve eserin muhtevası hakkında olmak üzere üç başlık üzerinden yapılacaktır.
