Isa-Beg Ishaković(Turkish:İshakoğlu İsa Bey;fl.1439–70) was anOttomanBosniangeneral and the governor of theSanjak of Bosniafor most of his career. Of Bosnian noble origin, he was recruited after being held hostage by the Ottomans. He was a provincial governor during the 1450s and 1460s, first in charge of theSanjak of Skopje,and then the Sanjak of Bosnia. He was instrumental in the Ottoman conquests in the region, and was one of the Sultan's most trusted generals.

Origin

[edit]

There are two main theories about his father identity:

  • Ishak Hranić Kosača,the brother ofBosniannoblemanStjepan Vukčić Kosača,who was sent to the sultanMehmed IIas hostage and guarantee of Kosača's loyalty. After being adopted by Pasha Jigit Bey he was converted intoIslamand had by contemporary measures a significant military and political career within the Ottoman Empire.[1]His patronymic Hranić indicates that his father's name was Hrana, which means that he was not Stjepan's brother but that Ishak Bey Hranić was Sandalj Hranić's brother.
  • Ishak Hranić/Hranušić,taken prisoner when theakinciintruded a holding of thePavlović noble family(lords of easternBosnia,including thežupaofVrhbosna). He proved himself exceptionally able while a prisoner, so theakincileader freed him (prompted him to leave the property, as well as his title).[1]

Biography

Isa-Beg Ishaković was appointed assanjak-bey(provincial governor) of theSanjak of Skopjein the spring of 1439, in place of his father,Ishak-Beg,who was sent to lead military actions inSerbia.[2]He was then appointed thesanjak-beyof Bosnia, briefly in 1463, and then from 1464 to 1470.[citation needed]

Šabac Fortress,founded by Ishaković

As governor of the province of Bosnia, Isa-Beg assured its future prosperity. He foundedSarajevoin 1461[citation needed]in the former Bosnian province of Vrhbosna. Between then and 1463 he built the core of the city'sOld Town district,including amosque,a closed marketplace, a public bath, a hostel, and the Governor's castle (Saray), which gave the city its present name. In much the same way and year he also foundedNovi Pazar(in Serbia), rendered fromTurkish:Yeni Pazar,literally meaning "new marketplace", some eleven kilometers from the medieval settlement of Trgovište ( "Trgovište" means "marketplace" ). There he built a mosque, a marketplace, a public bath, a hostel, and a compound. He is also responsible for establishing a number of other cities and towns in the region.

Ishaković built many important buildings part of theOld BazaarinSkopje,like theČifte Hammam,Kapan Han,Ishak Bey Mosque(dedicated to his fatherIshak-Beg,also known as Isaklija or Aladža), themadrasa(Islamic school) andlibrary(within Isak-Beg's Mosque, one of the first Islamic libraries in Europe),[3]and many other buildings that belonged to his endowment (waqf,Bosnian:vakuf).

    Ta dvojenja idu u smjeru – da je riječ o bratu Stjepana Vukčića Kosače, koji ga je predao Mehmedu II kao garanciju lojalnosti. Po ovoj teoriji Isa-beg je, nakon što ga je usvojio Ishak-beg (otud prezime), konvertirao na islam, te za ondašnje prilike izgradio zavidnu vojničku i političku karijeru. Po drugima, Isak Hranić/Hranušić zarobljen je tijekom jednog upada akindžija na posjed velikaške obitelji Pavlović, inače gospodara velikog dijela Istočne Bosne, uključujući i srednjovjekovnu župu Vrhbosnu. U zarobljeništvu se dokazao kao izuzetno sposoban, što je vođu spomenutih akindžija potaknulo da mu ostavi imetak, ali i poziciju koju je obnašao. Potpuno drukčiji pristup na porijeklo Ishakovića imaju istraživanja historičarke umjetnosti Lidije Bogojević Kumbaradži iz Skoplja. Ona smatra da je rodonačelnik Ishakovića Pašajigit-beg iz Saruhana (Kapadokije), a da je Ishak-beg bio njegov sin. Zanimljivosti idu do mjere u kojoj se skopski begovi Kumbaradžije smatraju izravnim potomcima Isa-bega Ishakovića, o čemu posjeduju i autentičnu dokumentaciju. Iznad ulaza u nekadašnji bazar u Skopju, građevine koju je podigao Ishaković, stoji ploča o obnovi bazara. Natpis kazuje da su bazar obnovili begovi Kumbaradžije, nasljednici Isa-begov
