Arabističko djelo Mehmeda Kice
The Arabist Oeuvre of Mehmed Kico

Summary/Abstract: The establishment and development of Arabic studies in our region can in some sense be traced back to the arrival of the Ottoman Turks in the 15th century. Initially, efforts to master the Arabic language as one of the official languages of the Ottoman state were made for practical reasons. In the scientific sense, Arabic first gained momentum in the period when the Arab world began experiencing national awareness and cultural revival. This momentum was especially strong in the second half of the 20th century, the active period of the Non-Aligned Movement (NAM), when Orientalists in this area started paying special attention to the Arabic language and its cultural and civilizational framework. As one of the modern actors of Arabic studies in this region, Dr. Mehmed Kico certainly attracted the attention of the scientific public with his work.
