TRAGOM PISANE RIJEČI VJERSKE INTELIGENCIJE BOŠNJAKA U AUSTROUGARSKOM RAZDOBLJU I NJIHOVA PROSVJETITELJSKA ULOGA // WRITTEN WORDS OF BOSNIAK RELIGIOUS INTELIGENTSIA IN AUSTRO-HUNGARIAN PERIOD AND ITS ENLIGHTENING ROLE

Abstract

The paper provides a brief overview of the significance and role of religious intelligence of Bosniaks in the field of affirmation of written texts in the Austro-Hungarian period. An overview of this kind of activity of Bosniak religious intelligence in the Austro-Hungarian period offers us a clearer picture of one important dimension in the process of development of the Bosniak people and challenges of adaptation to the new circumstances in a very turbulent transition period. The "heralds" of the new era, when speaking of the written words of Bosniaks at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries, played a significant enlightening role that the previous historical science did not emphasize sufficiently.
