Boboshticë ((マケドニア語:Бобоштица), ''Boboštica'') is a village in the former Drenovë Municipality of the Korçë County in southeastern Albania. At the 2015 local government reform it became part of the municipality Korçë.〔(Law nr. 115/2014 )〕 ==History== According to legend, the village was founded by Polish settlers left behind after a Crusade.〔Petiffer, James. "Blue Guide Albania & Kossovo", London, 2001.〕 Sultan Bayezid II donated the area to Mirahor (General of Chevalry) Iljas Bey. The village was transformed in 1505 in a ''Waqf'' regime of type ''Evaladiet''. By late 18th century, with the spread of ''Çiflik'' type feudalism instead of the Military feudalism inside the Ottoman Empire, many villages of the area were transformed into ''Çiflik''. Ali Pasha Tepelena turned Boboshticë as such in 1817, while the adjacent village of Drenovë was turned in 1814. With the demise of Ali Pasha, the Ottoman Porte confiscated from his domains over 1000 ''çiflik-s'', between others Boboshticë and Drenovë, and turned them into ''imlak'' (imperial çiflik). They remained such even after the Tanzimat reforms, and other agrarian laws. The economical situation of the villagers degraded a lot during the 19th century, far worse than what it used to be in the old system of ''timar''. They were obliged to pay the ''Ashar'' in addition to other ordinary and extraordinary taxes. By the end of 19th century, immigration to Romania and Bulgaria became a wide spread phenomena. Other families had migrated even before, i.e. Gerasi family complitely left when Ali Pasha took over. The village was internally ruled by an "elderly council" led by a one person from one of the richest families, referred as ''gocabaşi''. In 1823, for unclassified reasons, Boboshticë suffered a high level of mortality. 23 people recorded to have died from the nearby monastery of St. Nicholas (Alb: Shën Kollit), while 325 in total from the area. Though not being Greek, many villagers participated in the Greek Revolution. 6 of them died in the Siege of Messolonghi. Two uncles of the well-known Victor Eftimiu participated in future anti-Ottoman wars. In 1878-1879, many diaspora members together with local villagers took the initiative of buying of the village lands back from the Ottoman Empire, 57 later after it had turned as ''imlak'', based on the new imperial laws which allowed the Christians to buy/sell land and similar properties. The diaspora managed to have to the support of Russian diplomat Ignatyev for this purpose. Ignatyev succeeded in convincing the Ottoman authorities to add Boboshticë (and Drenovë) to the list of Ottoman ''çiflik-s'' which were destined to auction. At this time the village is recorded to have had 1004 people. The community distributed ''financial obligations'' (debentures) written in Bulgarian, Romanian, and Greek in order to facilitate the fund raising.〔 According to the Bulgarian Exarchate, Boboshticë had 250 houses with 1,471 Bulgarian inhabitants in the early 20th century.〔Трайчев, Георги. Български селища в днешна Албания, в: Отецъ Паисий, 15-31 юли 1929 година, стр.213.〕 Also around this time, in 1903, German scholar Heinrich Gelzer visited the village and described it as an island of Slavic population that remained from a much larger population from the 14th century.〔H. Gelzer. ''Vom Heiligen Berge und aus Makedonien'', в Bulletin of the American Geographical Society, Vol. 38, No. 5 (1906), p. 333〕 The villagers of Boboshticë-Drenovë have been a substantial part of the Albanian community in Romania. Their names appear on the statutes of the main organizations of Albanian diaspora there, with a great contribute in the Albanian National Awakening. Such societies were "Diturija", "Drenova", "Boboshtani" etc. Thanas Kantili (1863-1933) from Boboshticë was vice-president of the "Diturija" society, and a delegate of the community to the Albanian Congress of Trieste in 1913.〔() Kongresi i Triestes, ja procesverbali i bisedimeve 1-4 mars 1913 (in Albanian)〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Boboshticë」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
