Jews in written monuments of medieval Serbia

U jednom od svojih prvih radova akademik Sima M. Ćirković, kome sa dubokim prijateljskim poštovanjem i pijetetom posvećujem ove redove, obratio je pažnju na pomene Jevreja u izvorima za srednjovekovnu istoriju Srba? Kada je reč o kontinentalnom delu srpske srednjovekovne države, Ćirković je bio prvi, a koliko mi je poznato i jedini srpski istoričar - medievista, koji je u XX veku ovom problemu posvetio odgovarajuću pažnju. Zato je ovo pogodna ali i za nauku korisna prilika, da pobrojim najvažnije, naglašavam: meni poznate vesti koje u pisanim srpskim srednjovekovnim izvorima pravno-istorijskog karaktera na bilo koji način govore o Jevrejima.To činim bez odgovarajućeg komentara, jer bi takav rad zahtevao mnogo više znanja, prostora i vremena. Proučavanje i komentarisanje bogoslužbenih knjiga kao i literarnih dela ovom prilikom biće izostavljeno, jer su za tu vrstu rada potrebna posebna predznanja teološke i književno-istorijske prirode.In one of his earliest works Sima M. Cirkovic, to whom I dedicate these lines with profound appreciation and respect, paid attention to mentions referring to Jews in sources related to the medieval history of Serbs. With respect to the continental part of the state of Serbia, Ćirkovic was the first and, to my knowledge, the only Serbian historian of the 20th century studying the medieval period who paid adequate attention to this issue. That is why this is an appropriate and scientifically beneficial opportunity to mention the key news, known to me, in the written Serbian medieval sources of legal and historical nature which in any way make mention of Jews. I am doing this without any comment because such work would require much more knowledge, space and time. The study of and commenting on religious service books and literary works will not be part of this work at this time, because such a work would require specific prior knowledge of theological and literary and historical nature
