- Abstract
The paper studies the missionary strategies of the Observant Franciscans in the European part of the Ottoman Empire and those of the friars from Bosna Argentina Province in particular. The Bosnian Franciscan mission in the Bulgarian lands and the evangelization endeavors of the Bosnian and Bulgarian friars among the so-called Paulicians is in the focus of the research. A brief account of the missionaries' relations with the Orthodox and Muslim population is also given. These issues are situated in the context of both the Franciscan Order's missionary traditions and the implementation of the Catholic reforms in the Early Modern Period.
