Dve domovini Jakoba Žnidaršiča

The article attempts to present the personality of Jakob Žnidaršič (1847-1903), a Slovene with two homelands: (at the time informal) Slovenia and Bosnia-Herzegovina. He spent the last 21 years of his life in Sarajevo, where he worked as a teacher of physics and mathematics in a grammar school. Besides his publication of critical essays on Slovene literature and his own literary writing in Slovene and Bosnian newspapers and magazines, his particular historic significance relates to the initiation and foundation of the first Slovene social circle in Sarajevo, called ‘Slovensko omizje’ in the mid 1890s.Članek je posvečen Slovencu Jakobu Žnidaršiču (1847-1903), možu z dvema domovinama, slovensko in bosansko-hercegovsko. Zadnjih 21 let svojega življenja je preživel v Sarajevu, kjer je ves čas poučeval matematiko in fiziko na tamkajšnji Veliki gimnaziji. Njegov osrednji zgodovinski pomen je - razen v objavljanju literarnih kritik o slovenski književnosti in v samostojnih literarnih delih, objavljenih v slovenskih in bosanskih časopisihin revijah - tudi v pobudništvu in ustanovitvi Slovenskega omizja, prvega slovenskega družabnega kroga v Sarajevu sredi 90. let 19. stoletja
