Kata Jajnčerova, the Author of the Monograph of Trebarjevo

Summary/Abstract: Kata Jajnčerova (1876—1953) lived in the village Trebarjevo Desno at the hanks of Sava, near Sisak. Instructed by her brother Antun Radić, she wrote a monograph on life in her village. Most of it was published in Zbornik za narodni život i običaje, vols. 3 and 6, while the remaining, unpublished part is kept at the Ethnological Institute of JAZU in Zagreb. Kata’s monograph discloses her great power of perception, a natural association between the present and the past, a style of rich and picturesque vocabulary sometimes immersed in emotion and often in the form of a dialogue. She described the village and its natural surroundings, clothing, houses, customs related to everyday life and work, as well as unwritten legal customs. In the unpublished manuscript she described weddings, baptisms, funeral customs, the relations between husbands and wives, as well as those between parents and children.
