Memoirs of a Janissary or Turkish Chronicle penned by the Serbian soldier Konstantin Mihailović is a well-known fifteenth-century historical source that has raised many questions and debates. One of them concerns the author’s origin, social background and level of education. This paper will show that he was born in the village of Ostrovica, whose approximate location has been established here. The settlement was the centre of the medieval county of the same name renowned for its silver mine and lively financial and commercial activities. There was an Orthodox monastery where Mihailović most likely received his schooling before entering Ottoman service
