Juraj Dragišić
Juraj Dragišić (–1520), known in Italian as Giorgio Benigno Salviati (), was a Franciscan Province of Bosnia, Bosnian Franciscan theologian and philosopher of the Renaissance. He was educated in Italy, France and England. He lived and worked in Rome, Urbino, Florence and Dubrovnik (Ragusa), in addition to a long diplomatic stay in Germany. He held several high Franciscan offices and in his later years was the bishop of Cagli (1507–1520) and titular archbishop of Nazareth (1512–1520). A prolific Neo-Latin writer, Dragišić wrote mostly on theology and philosophy. He was partial to the dialogue form. Theologically he was a Scotist and philosophically a Platonist. He readily entered into live controversies, defending Bessarion against charges of heresy, entering the Plato–Aristotle controversy, debating the problem of future contingents and the problem of evil, defending the prophecies of Girolamo Savonarola, defending Johannes Reuchlin and the Talmud and defending Duke Fra ...

Johannes Reuchlin
Johann Reuchlin (; 29 January 1455 – 30 June 1522), sometimes called Johannes, was a German Catholic humanist and a scholar of Greek and Hebrew, whose work also took him to modern-day Austria, Switzerland, Italy, and France. Most of Reuchlin's career centered on advancing German knowledge of Greek and Hebrew. Early life Johann Reuchlin was born at Pforzheim in the Black Forest in 1455, where his father was an official of the Dominican monastery.

He remained fond of his home town; he constantly calls himself Phorcensis, and in the ''De Verbo'' he ascribes to Pforzheim his inclination towards literature.

Ottoman Conquest Of Bosnia And Herzegovina
The Ottoman conquest of Bosnia and Herzegovina was a process that started roughly in 1386, when the first Ottoman attacks on the Kingdom of Bosnia took place. In 1451, more than 65 years after its initial attacks, the Ottoman Empire officially established the Bosansko Krajište (Bosnian Frontier), an interim borderland military administrative unit, an Ottoman frontier, in parts of Bosnia and Herzegovina. In 1463, the Kingdom fell to the Ottomans, and this territory came under its firm control. Herzegovina gradually fell to the Ottomans by 1482. It took another century for the western parts of today's Bosnia to succumb to Ottoman attacks, ending with the capture of Bihać in 1592. Origins and etymology The entire territory that is today known as Bosnia and Herzegovina took the Ottoman Empire several decades to conquer. Military units of the Ottoman Empire made many raids into feudal principalities in the western Balkans at the end of the 14th century, some of them into territor ...
