Contribution to examining wine-growing in Nasice manorial estate in the first half of the 18th century

Prilog proučavanju vinogradarstva na našičkom vlastelinstvu u prvoj polovici 18. stoljeća

Author(s): Milan Vrbanus / Language(s): Croatian / Issue: 3/2003

Keywords: Našice manorial domain; domain inventories; wine-growing; arable lands; tithe; wine; first half of the 18th century

Wine growing is a field of economy which used to be an indicator of social conditions in a certain region. Namely, wine growing depends largely on the density of population in a certain region. Therefore, the decrease of wine-growing business is a clear sign that is has also come to the decrease of population on a certain manorial estate. It is not possible to determine the degree of processing of the vineyard on the Našice manorial estate for the years of 1703 and 1704. That is to say, manorial estate lists do not contain exact data od the size of arable land on which wine grape was grown. Slightly less than 2/3 of all vineyards were cultivated in 1721. Two years later the degree of processing increased to somewhat less then 3/4 of all arable land on which wine grape was grown. These facts show a slight increase of the degree of processing of the vineyard. However, this increase can be ascribed to the fact that the residents of Donja Motièina were not included in the census. As for the physical conditions of the Našice manorial estate, they were better in the valleys than the hill area. They must have presumed that the hill area was more suitable for wine growing than the plains. In 1703 approximately ten motikas (the area ploughed by a farmer in one day) of vineyard were cultivated in this area by the residents. The second half of the 18th century saw expansion of wine growing. Namely, before August 19, 1714 the size of the land on which wine grape was grown increased almost seven time. This expansion continued until the year of 1736. Still, the estate saw a slight decrease of the size of vineyards, which was caused by the exclusion of the village Donja Motièina from the census. After 1736, vineyards became considerably smaller. This condition was the result of the war between the Habsburg Monarchy and the Ottoman Empire and the plague epidemics on the territory of Slavonia. It is to be expected that after the war and the plague epidemics had ended the area of cultivated vineyards on the estate became to some extent larger. The Pejačević family took certain measures and focussed them on the strengthening of their estate economy, which was unquestionable an enormous contribution to it. There is no information on wine growing in the 18th century in the documents of the Našice estate. Yet, it is possible to determine the capacity of wine growing in this region on the basis of the lists showing the payment of the tithe. The amount of the tithe, that is to say, the production of wine can be continually trailed from 1701 to 1725 from 1729 to 1731 and finally for the year of 1746. The list showing the payment of the tithe show it clearly htat it had been increasing continuously from 1706 to 1722 (with slight oscillation), which leads to a conclusion that wine production had been increasing simultaneously. After this period, wine production started to decrease and increase only occasionally.

Early modern settlements in the Papuk region: a question of continuity

Novovjekovna naselja papučkoga kraja – pitanje kontinuiteta

Author(s): Darko Vitek / Language(s): Croatian / Issue: 43/2012

Keywords: early modern history; Papuk; settlementL; continuity

Political turning points, such as big battles, are frequently used to demarcate historical eras, thus implying deeply rooted changes evident in all segments of historical developments. While it is a fact that the arrival of the Ottomans to Slavonia, as well as their departure a century and half later, caused profound changes, it is not obvious that this political milestone should be reflected in the structure of settlements in the Papuk region. Medieval foundations of the settlement hierarchy, which in the Papuk region may be traced back to the thirteenth century, left a deep trace that remained manifest in the Ottoman era. These foundations played a key role in the eighteenth-century formation of the structure of settlements. Orahovica and Voćin, on the northern slopes, and Velika, Kaptol and Kutjevo, on the southern slopes of Papuk, were the most significant settlements across all studied periods. Although their role as the bearers of the function of centrality changed, as well as their population size, legal status and spatial framework, all of these settlements continually, from the thirteenth to the eighteenth centuries, marked the history of the Papuk region. It is with this knowledge that we must never cease to reassess received historical knowledge, and to critically open new topics of historical debate.

Was there a castle in Osijek in 1526?

Je li 1526. godine postojala utvrda u Osijeku?

Author(s): Szabolcs Varga / Language(s): Croatian / Issue: 10/2010

Keywords: Osijek; castle; Drava river; Middle Ages; Ottoman Empire; Mohács Battle

This study analyses the strategic importance of Osijek (Eszék) in the years before the battle of Mohács. The premise that the Hungarian army should have waited at Osijek, on the right bank of the Drava, and hindered the Ottoman troops from crossing the river, recurs constantly in scholarly works about the 1526 campaign of Suleyman the Great. These works accept the fact that a late medieval castle defended the ford at Osijek, and these authors strongly condemn Hungarian military leadership for not stopping the Ottoman army there, on the banks of the Drava. This question is not very exciting in the abstract, and is rather expected to be dealt with in a study on local history. However, during the Ottoman domination Osijek indeed played a key role in the invaders’ military strategy, which explains the detailed investigation of the issue. The outstanding importance of the town was the result of its location: the fast-flowing and dangerous River Drava narrowed here, which enabled large armies to cross it. Thus, the invaders built a permanent bridge at Osijek in 1529, and they did their utmost to defend it from their enemy. The fortified castle was also meant to prevent plundering troops from an attack. The stronghold helped the conquerors to collect taxes from the inhabitants of the region, and to defend the bridge until as late as Nikola Zrinski’s (Miklós Zrínyi’s) famous winter campaign of 1664. Due to the strong military presence, the town began to prosper and in the 16th-17th centuries it became a commercial and cultural centre of the region. In all probability, there had been a castle in Osijek at the end of the Middle Ages, but it did not exist during the campaign of 1526 or it did not have any military importance. However, its memory survived and its destruction became connected to the burning up of the town in that year. Some of the medieval walls might have survived because the inhabitants in the 17th century thought their stones were reused during the Ottoman building works (according to the famous Turkish world traveller, Evliya Chelebi).

ARABLE FARMING IN SLAVONIAN POSAVINAAT THE END OF THE 17TH CENTURY

RATARSTVO U SLAVONSKOJ POSAVINI KRAJEM 17. STOLJEĆA

Author(s): Milan Vrbanus / Language(s): Croatian / Issue: 2/2002

Slavonian Posavina is located on the left bank of the Sava River and on the southern foothills of Psunj and Dilj. Most of the cultivable land is located in the plain along the Sava, and was exposed to frequent flooding, which made the cultivation of almost half of the ploughland in the area impossible. In this area there were however good preconditions for the development of arable farming, more than two fifths of the ploughland being fertile and less than a tenth being infertile. This relates in particular to the district of Kobaš, where almost two thirds of the ploughland were fertile. Unfortunately, the frequent floods in this area prevented arable farming developing rapidly, although the population in the inundated areas put in great efforts while cultivating their fields, attempting to improve their economic condition. The population had very weak material foundations, however, for the development of farming.[...] . However, these households did also cultivate considerable areas, thus attempting to gain enough wealth to be able to purchase the oxen necessary for better tilling. And yet the requent floods in the area largely rendered their efforts nugatory. Slavonian Posavina had 2,999 jutro (approximately equivalent to an acre) of land under the plough, which was about one third of all cultivable land. In this area the percentage of cultivation was quite a lot higher than the average for the time in Slavonia. This relatively high percentage is the consequence of the very high percentage of cultivation in the district of Kobaš, where more than a half of all cultivable land was tilled. The population of this area tilled per household a bit less than 2.5 (2.47) jutro of land, lower than the average area in Slavonia in 1698 (3.14 jutro per household). The smallness of the average area of cultivated land was the result of the very small area of tilled ploughland per household in the district of Brod (1.55 jutro per household). The people in Slavonian Posavina cultivated wheat, barley and oats, but no millet or maize. Wheat was the most common crop in this area. This cereal took up more than six sevenths, and barley and oats together less than one seventh, of all the cultivated areas. Wheat and barley were more common in the plains of the area, oats in the hilly areas. Arable farming would have been stronger if an embankment had been built along the banks of the Sava. When an embankment was built, it would speed up the development of arable farming by preventing such frequent spillages of the river and the consequent destruction of the produce. By selling their surpluses, eventually the population accumulated the funds necessary to buy the oxen for the tilling of their land. Unfortunately, a great deal of time was to pass before this process was completed.

The surroundings of Papuk and Krndija in the Middle Ages: contributions to local history (Part II)

Podgorje Papuka i Krndije u srednjem vijeku: prilozi za lokalnu povijest (drugi dio)

Author(s): Stanko Andrić / Language(s): Croatian / Issue: 9/2009

Keywords: Papuk; Krndija; castles; Kamengrad; Stražeman; Velika; Kaptol-Prepoštija; Vetovo; Kutjevo; Middle Ages; Ottoman period (16th – 17th centuries); local history.

In this second part of the survey, chronologically ordered sets of data from primary sources are presented for the localities situated along the southern slopes of the mountains Papuk and Krndija. Here the most important settlements, comprising castles and centers of large estates, were the following: Kamengrad (Hung. Kõvár); Stražemlje (Sztrazsemlje) or present-day Stražeman; Velika (Velike); Prepoštija (Prépostvára) or present-day Pogana Gradina near Kaptol (Pozsegaszentpéter); Vetovo (medieval and Hungarian name is unknown); and Kutjevo (Gotó). Each place is introduced with a few remarks on its historical names, topography and fortified building features. At the end of each series of data, early modern sources have also been examined and recounted in so far as they reveal some details about medieval buildings (castles) and their subsequent fate.

The struggle of the Diocese of Pécs for the Church’s tithe in Slavonia from the end of the Ottoman rule to 1761

Borba Pečuške biskupije za crkvenu desetinu u Slavoniji od oslobođenja od osmanske vlasti do 1761.

Author(s): Milan Vrbanus / Language(s): Croatian / Issue: 9/2009

Keywords: Diocese of Pécs; church tithe; Slavonia; Charles’ Urbarium; Maria Theresa’s Urbarium.

The organization of the chamber administration in Slavonia began after Slavonia’s liberation from the Ottoman rule in 1961. At first the organization of chamber administration proceeded at a slow pace, since the war with the Ottoman Empire was still in progress and the military needs were given precedence. After the Christian army won the Battle of Senta in 1697, the organization of chamber administration in Slavonia sped up and the chamber commission with Count Carl Ferdinand Caraffa di Stigliano at the helm was sent to Slavonia. At the same time the establishment of church organization began in this territory, resulting in a clash between the Diocese of Zagreb and the Diocese of Bosnia over the Slavonian parishes, which ended in 1699 with the decision of the court commission in Györ that fixed the border between the two dioceses. The Diocese of Pécs got involved in the battle for Slavonian parishes only after the Györ trial, even though it had the greatest right to them. The Court Chamber, on the other hand, felt the tithe to be the state’s income, since Slavonia was conquered by arms. Chamber officials thus started collecting the tithe after the liberation from the Ottoman rule and transporting it to storehouses in Osijek, Brod, and Gradiška. In the 1720s the Bishop of Pécs managed to assert his right to collect the Great Tithe in Slavonia. After the peasant uprising in Slavonia was quelled in 1735, the Court in Vienna sent Hamilton’s commission to Slavonia to identify the causes of the uprising and suggest solutions to the problems they find.Tithe collection was one of the important problems. A conference was convened in Vienna in 1737, concluding that the Slavonian manor lords had no right to collect the tithe, while the bishops were entitled to collect the Great Tithe, but not the Little Tithe. King Charles III (VI) prohibited the manor lords from collecting the tithe and allowed the bishops to collect the Great Tithe, forbidding them to collect the Little Tithe before they proved their right to this tax. In spite of the regulation on the church tithe by Charles’ Urbarium, the Bishop of Pécs strove to gain the right to collect the little tithe as well. A temporary Slavonian urbarium again forbade the bishops to collect the little tithe until they proved their right to this tax. The issue of tithe collection was only solved in 1761 at a meeting of manor representatives and bishops, where they reached an agreement about tithe collection rights.

A hidden history: the mysterious world of numbers

Skrivena povijest – tajnoviti svijet brojki

Author(s): Milan Vrbanus / Language(s): Croatian / Issue: 39/2010

Keywords: quantitative methods; Slavonia; economic history; use of quantitative methods

The author discusses some of the statistical methods that may be used to obtain new knowledge and contribute towards the study of the economic history of Slavonian estates and, more widely, Slavonia in the late seventeenth and the first halfof the eighteenth centuries. By comparing data acquired from sources of different types and using a variety of quantitative methods, one may be able to acquire information that throws new light upon the economic history of Slavonia. Of course, while using certain quantitative methods scholars may also encounter problems that arise from the ways in which studied sources were produced. Archival sources from the late seventeenth and the first half of the eighteenth century come from a ‘pre-statistical’ era, which hinders a good-quality use of statistical methods. Furthermore, certain quantitative methods, such as fixedbase index, cannot be used because of the lack of archival documents. Registers of personal names are difficult to analyze as the same individuals are occasionally listed under different names. Nonetheless, the use of certain quantitative methods has contributed to the acquisition of new knowledge in the study of the economic history of Slavonia in the late seventeenth and the first half of the eighteenth centuries. For instance, measures of central tendency make possible an assessment of economic progress over a long time period. One should, however, should keep in mind that arithmetic mean has its drawbacks caused by the quality of information obtained from sources (for example: the number of households without the cattle numbers or the number of arable fields under cultivation). Standard deviation, as a statistical measure, could be used as an indicator of social stratification over a certain time-period. This statistical measure too has its drawbacks as it is not possible to determine the arithmetic mean for all of the Slavonian estates—and therefore it is not possible to find out the standard deviation for all the estates, that is, all of Slavonia. Yet by grouping data into categories (one criterion may be the number of horses) scholars could use this method to evaluate social stratification. Using data visualization tools, the author presents the results of regression analysis. By drawing a straight line through the arithmetic mean of the fields under cultivation and the arithmetic mean of the number of oxen, the author has been able to show the ability of the population to cultivate the arable land in their possession. All the problems arising from the poor quality of archival sources nothwithstanding, the use of these quantitative methods makes possible the acquisition of new knowledge, throwing new light upon a variety of phenomena found in economic history.

Urban development of Đakovo in the Middle Ages

Urbani razvoj Đakova u srednjem vijeku

Author(s): Krešimir Filipec / Language(s): Croatian / Issue: 44/2013

Keywords: Đakovo; urban development; castrum; market town; parish church

The oldest medieval settlement in Đakovo developed on the later site of the parish church. We may thus conclude that the position of the parish church indicates the site of the settlement at the time of the formation of the parish in the early Middle Ages. Đakovo thus offers an opportunity to trace continuity from the eighth century onwards, yet for the area around the castrum and the town it may only be traced from the thirteenth century on. Later development of the town around the second centre was a consequence of the urban development in the feudal Middle Ages. The site of the parish church remained important into the twelfth or the thirteenth centuries, when, similarly to elsewhere in Croatia, a new public space (square) began to take shape outside the existing settlement, in the fi elds or in the proximity of an existing or newly erected feudal court. The parish church came to be the only trace of the old settlement, and the feudal court (burgh) the axis of a new administrative centre. In the late Middle Ages, these two separate entities functioned as one whole. The settlement around the parish church had not ceased to develop following the transfer of the administrative centre to a new location, and the burial intensity at the pertaining cemetery remained constant. This site, obviously, remained the main cemetery in Đakovo. Nonetheless, this area retained an agricultural appearance through the Middle Ages. The process that took place in Đakovo closely resembles urban developments in other old settlements of this type in Northern Croatia and Hungary.

A review of topography and toponymy of Valpovo in the Middle Ages

Osvrt na topografiju i toponimiju Valpova u srednjem vijeku

Author(s): Danijel Jelaš / Language(s): Croatian / Issue: 11/2011

Keywords: Valpovo; Željanovci; Zelenovac; Crkveno Valpovo; Staro Valpovo; Gradiška; Gradište; toponymy; topography

The paper deals with the issues of topography and toponymy of the medieval localities in the Valpovo area, namely the medieval towns of Valpovo and Željanovci (Zelenovac), as well as the localities mentioned in the medieval sources as Eghazaswalpo (a Hungarian name that can be translated into English as ‘Church Valpovo’) and Gradisca (or Gueredystha). The paper brings a brief overview of works that touched upon the issue of topography of the aforesaid localities. The authors do not share a common view on the locations of Valpovo, Željanovci and Eghazaswalpo. It is mostly because the medieval documents relevant to the subject are scarce and they allow for different interpretations, at least to some extent. The only fact that we can be certain of is the location of Željanovci, because the sources explicitly place this town in the suburb of the Valpovo castle. A careful analysis of the sources leads to the conclusion that the town of Valpovo was not in the vicinity of the Valpovo castle, but most likely some 2 km to the Northeast, on the site of the present day Staro Valpovo. As for Eghazaswalpo, the sources do not indicate its location in any way. The paper also discusses the toponymy of these three localities, especially the toponym „Željanovci“, because the form commonly accepted in the Croatian historiography is „Zelenovac“, which is disputed here. Finally, the paper reviews the issue of Gradisca (or Gueredystha), a locality found in the documents that come from the 13th and the early 14th century, a period before Valpovo castle and towns of Valpovo and Željanovci were first mentioned. Its location, described in the sources rather precisely, suggests the same location as the present day Valpovo. Furthermore, the name Gradisca indicates that there used to be an older fort at the site of the Valpovo castle.

The Spread of Gold Coin North of the Danube in the Late 4th century BC and the Wars of the Diadochi

La diffusion de l’or monnayé au nord du Danube à la fin du IVe siècle av. J.-C. et les guerres des diadoques

Author(s): Aurel Vîlcu / Language(s): French / Issue: 13/2015

Keywords: gold coins; coin hoards; north of the Danube; mercenaries; West Pontic cities; wars of the Diadochi; monede de aur; tezaure monetare; nordul Dunării; mercenari; oraşele vest-pontice; războaiele diadoh

This paper presents an analysis on the coined gold from the second part of 4th century BC, discovered north of the Danube. Analysis results reveal that Greek gold staters spread north of the Danube in the last two decades of the 4th century BC, in the context of the wars between Alexander’s generals. Gold coins penetrated mainly due to the involvement of the West Pontic cities in these conflicts and the recruitment of mercenaries from populations situated in the Lower Danube region.

The presence of dervishes in the territory of Slavonia and Syrmiaduring the time of the Ottoman rule

Prisutnost derviša na području Slavonije i Srijema uvrijeme osmanske vladavine

Author(s): Rosana Ratkovčić / Language(s): Croatian / Issue: 14/2014

Presence of dervishes, Sufi orders - tariqats, and Tekke as gathering places of dervishes, in Slavonia in the period of Ottoman rule is almost completely unexplored and unknown. This article is an attempt to represent this part of our cultural history, and the cultural context of the presence and activities of the dervishes in this part of the Croatia, and thus and to provide a starting point and inspiration for future research in this topic. It is based on the previous studies and the records of travel writers and chroniclers, and on the field research of the sites mentioned by these authors. In Vukovar, the presence of dervishes and the existence of the Tekke and the turbe (tomb) of Hindi-baba is recorded and described by Bartol Kašić and Evliya Çelebi. In Požega, where we have data of the existence of Dervish Tekke, today there is Tekke street (Tekijska ulica) and Tekke fountain (Tekijska česma). In Petrovaradin, on the site where once stood Tekke, today is the church of Our Lady of the Tekke (Gospa Tekijska), and near it there is a fountain which probably originates from the Ottoman era. In Stara Gradiška untill 1954 was the tomb of Sheikh Gaibija, which is then transferred to Bosanska Gradiška. There are many records of the stories and legends about Sheikh Gaibija and his fulfi lled prophecy, and some of his texts are also preserved. Some information about the presence of dervishes in Slavonia could be found in poetry of Aga-dede from Dobor city, in Bosanska Posavina. The poetry of Aga-dede is a source for exploring the dynamics of life in Posavina settlements and their close relationship with Ðakovo, Požega, Osijek and other Slavonian and Hungarian centers. The presence of dervishes in Slavonia could also be explored through the data in defter (census), as well as data on esnaf (guild) organizations, which are known to have been associated with the Sufi orders.

Author(s): Amela Ljevo-Ovčina / Language(s): Bosnian / Issue: 2/2012

Keywords: polyphony; dialogue; style; procedure; narration; other;

In this text I consider the applicability of Mikhail Bakhtin’s theory of polyphony and dialogue on the classical Bosnian literature, specifically on the two well-known novels by Ivo Andrić and Meša Selimović, Prokleta avlija and Magla i mjesečina. The main focus is placed on the analysis of the language and the living word by which Andrić creates his literary idea of the world, presented through the image of Fra Petar into the complex narrative position which enables both narrative complexity and stylistic plurality. Meša Selimović expands the perspectives by which he describes war experience in the novel Magla and mjesečina, writing in a specific language and in a specific manner.

Osijek Merchants at the Buda Customs Office in 1716 and 1717

Osječki trgovci na budimskoj tridesetnici 1716. i 1717. godine

Author(s): Milan Vrbanus / Language(s): Croatian / Issue: 18/2018

Keywords: customs duty (tricesima); customs office; trade; merchants; Buda; Osijek; goods; family connections;

The city of Osijek was awarded the Magistrate Instruction by the Caraffa Commission, which enabled the city to develop into the administrative and economic centre of Slavonia under the Chamber’s jurisdiction. With the implementation of this document, the citizens were exempted from commitments of inferior status and were free to engage in economic activities. At the end of the first decade of the 18th century the construction of the Osijek fortress started; the works continued throughout the second decade and ended at the beginning of the third decade of the century and thus the city also became the seat of the military command of the Slavonian Military Frontier. The exemption from commitments due to their inferior status enabled the citizens to focus on personal economic activities, i.e. the development of their own economy. Some of the citizens were engaged in trade activities. Hence, they decided to purchase or sell merchandise in nearby but also distant locations such as Buda or Bratislava. In 1716 the merchants from Osijek came with their merchandise 20 times to the customs clearance, i.e. customs control, and the following year 15 times. In 1716 the Buda customs office was visited by 14 and in the following year by 10 merchants. The merchants from Osijek delivered mainly textile products (textiles, thread, hemp fibre, Hungarian caps, bed linen, dresses) to the Buda customs and to a much smaller extent various merchandise such as spices (pepper, cloves and ginger), various types of fish, sugar, pigs, millstones, flour, glue, cheese, spelt groats, tin, frankincense, alum, paper, sulphur, brandy and boats. A large part of the goods consisted of purchases from Bratislava where the Osijek merchants paid the thirtieth (tax). The most outstanding Osijek merchants at the Buda customs were Joannes Peacsevics (Piacsovicsa), Gregorius Nicolantin (Nicolandy), Stephanus Stoigics (Stekics, Stegics) and to a lesser extent Jacobus Vergics (Veridics). The greatest part of the merchandise for customs clearance, i.e. customs control, was delivered by these four merchants.

The Noble Manor of Vukovar: Slavonia and Syrmia in the First Half of the 18th Century According to Censuses and Maps

Vukovarsko vlastelinstvo – slavonsko-srijemski prostor prema popisima stanovništva i kartografskim izvorima u prvoj polovini 18. stoljeća

Author(s): Milan Vrbanus,Ante Grubišić / Language(s): Croatian / Issue: 63/2022

Keywords: Slavonia; noble manor of Vukovar; Chamber census; maps of the Vukovar manor; 18th century; economy;

Based on the chamber census of 1728 and Frast’s maps of the noble manor of Vukovar from 1733, the authors have reached conclusions on the socio-economic situation of the newly created Vukovar estate using quantitative methods. The analysis of the Chamber census from 1728 shows the state of economy on the future manor (farming, livestock breeding, and viticulture). Significant differences have been observed in the economic development of different settlement categories (city, marketplace, village). At the current level of research, it has not been possible to conclude whether these differences were caused by the urbanization of Vukovar, which became the seat of the noble manor, and later also of the newly created Syrmian County, or by some other process. The Chamber census allows us to determine the amount of tax burden, as well as the manorial income on the basis of which the Palace Chamber determined the value of the future manor and the amount that the new owner had to pay into the treasury of the Palace Chamber for the ownership right of the female line of the Küffstein family.

FEMALE CHARACTERS IN THE NOVELS TRAVNIČKA HRONIKA AND NA DRINI ĆUPRIJA BY IVO ANDRIĆ – A GENDER READING

ŽENSKI LIKOVI U ROMANIMA TRAVNIČKA HRONIKA I NA DRINI ĆUPRIJA IVE ANDRIĆA – ČITANJE RODA

Author(s): Hasreta Salkić Begić / Language(s): Bosnian / Issue: 18-19/2022

Keywords: gender role; female characters; historical context; tradition and modernization;

In the following lines, albeit briefly, I will analyze the presence and role of female characters in Andrić’s novels Na Drini ćuprija and Travnička hronika, considering their significance within the stories and the ways in which women are represented through gender and societal contexts. Through examples from these Andrić’s works, I will attempt to demonstrate how female behavior was redefined in a different political/cultural context, amidst the shifts in power that affected Bosnian society.
