Abstract

In this paper the author problematized the question of the nature of heresy in medieval Bosnia, and analyzed possible mutual influences with the heretical movements formed in the area of Western Europe. A deep review of the previous similar attempts in historiography has been offered, as well its evaluation, with the specific focus on the discussion regarding the relation Dalmatia – Sclauonia – Bosnia. The second part of the paper is dedicated to the possible connections between Bosnian krstjani with Italian heretics, cathars, or hussites. The main conclusion is that the Bosnian Church, which by the author’s opinion follows dualistic doctrine, did not used its influence and teachings, but it settled with the ethical aspirations linked with its ideal in the original apostolic faith.
