About the Researches of Aljamiado Literacy that have been done up to now, and About the Continuation of the Researches

Summary/Abstract: The present paper is a survey of the researches of Aljamiado literacy and Aljamiado literature that have been done up to now. This literacy and literature existed in our region for nearly three and a half of centuries, from the oldest known Aljamiado poem »Hirvat turkisi« written in 1588/89 by Mehmed Erdeljac to 1941 when »Fikhul-ibadat«, written by Muhamed Seid Serdarević, was printed. The use of Arabic alphabet in Serbocroatian enabled two parallel streams of literary life: one stream in Oriental languages, in motif and genre connected with Arabic, Turkish and Persian literature, and the other in Vemacular, turned mainly to the national heritage and national spirit. Many researchers have been interested in this phenomenon. Evlija Celebi was the first who left a written note about the phenomenon of Aljamiado literature in our country. In his Travels he mentioned Uskufi's Dictionary written in verses in' Bosnian language. Otto Blau published this Dictionary in 1868., and it was the first important step in the presentation of Aljamiado literacy. Scientific presentation and interpretation of the texts written in Aljamiado began with Sejfudin Kemura and Vladimir Ćorović. A great number of authors gave their contribution to the study of Aljamiado literacy through numerous papers and reviews, and the most prominent among them are PhD Muhamed Huković and PhD Abdurahman Nametak. All these authors are mentioned in the present paper Aljamiado literature is rich in genre: types of poetry are: lyric, epic-lyric, didactic and religious, while the types of prose are: short stories, morals on religion, school books, folk medicine books, and later on appear journals and calendars. Further researches of Aljamiado literacy must be based on interdisciplinary team work which will bring the actual valorisation of the culturaly-historical and literary significance of this literacy.
