NEKE NAPOMENE O STVARALAŠTVU MUHAMEDA SEIDA SERDAREVIĆA
THE WORK OF MUHAMED SEID SERDAREVIC IN THE FIELD OF HISTORY OF ISLAM (ON THE OCCASION OF ONE HUNDRED YEARS FROM HIS BOOK “A SHORT HISTORY OF ISLAM”)

Summary/Abstract: Since diversity of Muhamed S. Serdarevic’s work has not always been evaluated and presented the way it deserves, this article is an attempt to point to certain characteristics of his work in the field of history of Islam. In this area he wrote two works: “A short history of Islam” and “Information on the history of Islam”. They belong to two different periods of his creative life, “A short history of Islam” was written in his early period, while the other one in a latter, more mature period of his creative life. Even though both works have a lot in common, they obviously have different intentions. “A short history of Islam” is written for a wider audience and, at the time it was written, it represented the only such work available in local language written in Latin alphabet. A great need for such work becomes apparent through the fact that it was originally being published in the Behar magazine (1905-06), and then immediately printed out as a separate book.
