However, due to issues of language and a scarcity of sources, the whole region has largely remained bout of sight and overlooked by western historiography. This volume features contributions from an exciting new generation of medievalists, who are working to rectify this gap in the narrative. As a small, landlocked country, medieval Bosnia managed to preserve its individuality, characterized by religious plurality and by the persistence of its own ancient customs. But its central position in the region, situated between east and west, and where boundaries between Catholic and Orthodox Christianity were demarcated deep into the Middle Ages, meant it was heavily influenced by both sides of this civilizational divide and politically and culturally shaped by the Venetian Republic, the Hungarian Kingdom, and the Byzantine Empire.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>EDITORS<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>D\u017eenan Dautovi\u0107<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>D\u017eenan Dautovi\u0107 is a doctoral researcher at the University of Sarajevo specialising in the history and historiography of medieval Bosnia and the Papacy.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Emir Filipovi\u0107<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Emir O.
