Abstract

An analysis of original medieval material at the level of historiographical examination sheds light, in general, on what the Serbian medieval city represented compared to other urban medieval forms, both synchronously and diachronically.

In the case of Smederevo, the basis was epigraphic material, and in the case of Priština, a copy of the inscription from the Priština fortification, preserved in a manuscript that is kept today in the Saint Panteleimon monastery. A particular focus was placed on the fortress of Novi in Boka, which herzog Stefan Vukčić­Kosača transformed into an urban settlement
