Da li se Zadrani spominju u »Hiljadu i jednoj noći«?
Are the citizens of Zadar (Zara) mentioned in »The Thousand and one Night«?

Summary/Abstract: Relying on several Western translations of »1001 Nights« Professor F. Bajraktarević has published an article in the Historical Periodical df the Serbian Academy of Science (Istoriski časopis SAN) under the title »The citizens of Dubrovnik (Ragusa) and Zadar (Zara) in »1001 nights« in which he takes for granted that in the above mentioned work not only Dubrovnlik and its citizens but also Zadar and its inhabitants are mentioned. In the present article the author proves that the name Gurna which can be found in the best editions of the Thousand and One Night does not mean Zadar but Livorno (Leghorn) from which follows that Zadar and its citizens are not metioned in 1001 Nights.
