One old version (autograph) of the Kaimija's kasida against tabacco

Abstract

Hasan Kaimija from Sarajevo was the first poet in Turkish and Serbocroat langu­age. His poem (kasida) against smoking was well-known and it was preserved in several copies. S. Kemura and V. Ćorović published it in their work Serbokroatische Dichtungen Bosnischer Moslims, Sarajevo, 1912. The author of this article found an old copy, - and perhaps autograph, which differs from Kemura's and Ćorović's. We have the whole text of this manuscript, comparing it with already published text at Kemura and Ćoro­vić.
