Abstract
Bács, an Ottoman nahiye centre defended by a small garrison, was situated in the southernmost region of Hungary, the place of massive Serbian immigration. The town was left by its original Hungarian residents; its Muslim population, living in the two discrits of the fortress and the four civil mahalles, is known from the years around 1570 and 1578. About one quarter of the inhabitants were peasants, one sixth of them were men of religion, mainly cami personnel and sufis. 58 persons in 12 crefts around 1570, and 110 individuals in 33 crafts in 1578 testify to the relative importance of industrial activities. 25 tradesmen were engaged in transporting grain to Buda from the south. The town was preferred to Szeged by many sipahis of the same sancak as their abode. Unlike several Hungarian urban settlements and Ottoman centres in the northern parts of the country, Bács resembled a typical Ottoman kasaba.
