PAŠA NUHBEGOVIĆ I BRAĆA GAGIĆI - POVODOM JEDNOG HUDŽDŽETA HLIVANJSKOG NAIBA-POMOĆNOG KADIJE OD 1871. GODINE
PAŠA NUHBEGOVIĆ AND THE GAGIĆ BROTHERS - REGARDING A WRIT BY THE DEPUTY SHARIA JUDGE OF HLIVNO, BAYEZID, COMPOSED IN 1871

Summary/Abstract: This paper publishes a critical edition, a Bosnian translation, and a historical analysis of a writ composed in 1871 by the deputy Sharia judge of Hlivno, Bayezid. The writ confirms the sale of real estate in the village of Podhum in the vicinity of Hlivno (mansion, guesthouse, farm buildings, gardens, orchards, and house yards). The owner of this property was a woman named Paša, née Nuhbegović. She sold the estate to the two brothers, sons of a notable from Hlivno, Derviš Ibrahim-beg Gagić. The paper examines the socio-economic position of elite Muslim women in Bosnia, traces the origins of the Nuhbegović family from Hlivno-Podhum, and highlights some previously overlooked details from the history of the Repovac family, originating from the Konjic area, and the Gagić family from Hlivno. Methodologically, the paper addresses the biased nature of some Bosnian Franciscan sources as well as those from the Serbian Orthodox Church. In this context, the study specifically examines the “invention of tradition” in relation to the Islamization of Bosnia. Finally, it provides insights into the relationship between Sharia courts and civil-administrative courts in Bosnia during the period 1861-1878.
