Pogled sefardskog rabina na njegove bosanske susjede i zajedničku osmansku kulturu kako se ogleda u njegovim spisima

"Bosnian Rabbi Eliezer Šem Tov Papo (Sarajevo, ? - Jerusalem, 1898) is the author of four compendia of Jewish religious law and moral teachings in Judeo-Spanish, and three similar, shorter religious works in Hebrew. All his books were printed in Hebrew characters and were published in Belgrade, Sarajevo, Izmir, and Jerusalem between 1862 and 1892. Papo’s literary work is an important source for expanding our knowledge of Sephardic religious culture. Besides its rabbinic content, his writings provide generous material about the private and public lives and the folklore and customs of traditional Sarajevo's Sephardic Jews in particular, and Bosnian Jewish communities in general, during the second half of the nineteenth century, a period in which Ottoman Bosnian society had already begun to experience the process of modernization and westernization. In this article, I wish to examine how this Sephardic rabbi sees his Bosnian neighbours and their otherness, and also, how and to what extent these neighbours and their culture influence his rabbinic writings and his way of life...""Bosanski rabin Eliezer Šem Tov Papo (Sarajevo, ? - Jerusalim, 1898) je autor četiri kompendije jevrejskog verskog prava i moralnih učenja na judeo-španskom, i tri slična, kraća religiozna dela na hebrejskom. Sve njegove knjige štampane su hebrejskim slovima i objavljivane su u Beogradu, Sarajevu, Izmiru i Jerusalimu između 1862. i 1892. Papov književni rad je važan izvor za proširenje našeg znanja o sefardskoj religijskoj kulturi. Pored rabinskog sadržaja, njegovi spisi pružaju izdašnu građu o privatnom i javnom životu i folkloru i običajima tradicionalnih sarajevskih sefardskih Jevreja posebno, i bosanskih jevrejskih zajednica uopšte, tokom druge polovine devetnaestog veka, perioda u kome je osmansko bosanskohercegovačko društvo već počelo da doživljava proces modernizacije i vesternizacije. U ovom članku želim da ispitam kako ovaj sefardski rabin vidi svoje bosanske susjede i njihovu drugost, te kako i u kojoj mjeri ovi susjedi i njihova kultura utiču na njegove rabinske spise i njegov način života..."Ovo zajedničko izdanje "El Prezente - Studije o sefardskoj kulturi" i "Menora - Zbornik radova" je još jedan plod višestruke akademske saradnje između Univerziteta Ben-Gurion, Centra za ladino kulturu "Moše David Gaon" i Odeljenja za istoriju umetnosti na Filozofskom fakultetu Univerziteta u Beogradu (this joint issue of "El Prezente - Studies in Sephardic Culture" and "Menorah - Collection of Papers" is yet another a fruit of the multifaceted academic cooperation between Ben-Gurion University, Moshe David Gaon Center for Ladino Culture, and the Department of History of Art at Belgrade University's Faculty of Philosophy).Većina članaka u ovom broju prvobitno je prezentovana na međunarodnoj konferenciji "Zajednička kultura i pojedinačni identiteti: hrišćani, Jevreji i muslimani na osmanskom Balkanu“, koju su 2011. godine organizovale ove dve institucije u Beogradu (most of the articles in this issue were originally presented at the international conference "Common Culture and Particular Identities: Christians, Jews and Muslims on the Ottoman Balkans", organized in 2011 by these two institutions in Belgrade)
