MUHAMMED SEID SERDAREVIĆ • REMARKABLE ALEM AND GREAT MAN

Abstract

This paper focuses on the life and work of Muhamed Seid Serdarević considered to be the one of the most remarkable personalities among the Ularna of the first half of the 20th century. Serdarević gave an immense contribution to the various aspcets of education. However, he is practically unknown to a wiider scholarly public. His short life -died at age of 36 -and a complete scholarly engagement was largely dedicated to the cultural and educational enlightenment of its own people, which is obvious from a great number of puiblished works and his active panicipation in the social currents of his own time. We are hoping this paper will lift a veil of oblivion and ignorance surrounding this outstanding man and shed some light on the different aspects of his personality. This year marks 120 years from his birth and this anniversary is a motive for paying homage to this extraordinary person.
