Ethnographic Data Recorded by Pavlina Bogdan Bijelić

Summary/Abstract: Pavlina Bogdan-Bijelić was an exceptional, but insufficiently known, Croatian ethnographer from the second half of the 19th century and the beginning of this century. Her activity in gathering data on life and customs of Konavle near Dubrovnik resulted in a rich collection which is still one of the most important sources for studying that region. The largest part of her manuscript is kept in the archives of the Council for folk life and customs of JAZU in Zagreb, while only a small part was published in Zbornik za narodni život i običaje. Pavlina Bogdan-Bijelić’s data includes the topography of Konavle, the physical characteristics of its inhabitants, a description of a zadruga household, food, work in the fields, textile manufacturing, clothing, customs of life cycle and yearly cycle, and folklore. Thus, she had covered almost all the topics which we find included in later ethnographic monographs, written after the Osnova of Antun Radić.
