About this event
Dr. Haverić will present the Bosniaks’ Literary Legacy in Persian, highlighting valuable manuscripts of Persian works preserved in libraries in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Her talk will explore the Influence of Persian Classics on the literary heritage of Bosniaks written in Persian, Turkish, and Arabic. Bosnian writers have drawn inspiration from prominent writers and poets of Arab, Turkish, and Persian literature, resulting in a significant body of works in these oriental languages. Her book, “Words of Persian Origin in Bosnian Language,” co-authored with Amela Šehović, contains a comprehensive list of 1,808 words of Persian origin.
