On Folk Medicine of Brodsko Posavlje

Abstract

The final contribution to (folk) medicine (i.e. its history), ethnology, cultural anthropology, and dialectology is presented in the Lexicon of Slavonian Folk Medicine of Brodsko Posavlje published in Osijek, 2017, by the Josip Juraj Strossmayer University in Osijek and the Faculty of Education. The Lexicon was co-authored by a group of researchers: Emina Berbić Kolar, Tanja Đurić, Monika Grozdanović, Josip Jagodar, Antun Javor, Ivana Mihić and Katarina Sudarević. Co-authors went to 14 places in Brodsko Posavlje (Bebrina, Brodski Stupnik, Davor, Donji Lipovac, Dubočac, Gornji Lipovac, Kaniža, Lužani, Magić Mala, Siče, Slavonski Kobaš, Srednji Lipovac and Velika Kopanica) to find speakers, around 60 of them, and used their utterances as the database for the lexicon.
