The subject of this article is an episode in the city of Castoria (present-day Kostur) whose main protagonist was an energetic, violent woman who fostered relationships with non-Jews, including Janissaries, devised a plan to dispossess her husband of all his possessions, and even tried to murder him. In addition to being an interesting episode of the 1680s, the story hints at several significant aspects of Jewish life in the Ottoman Balkans as well as in other parts of the empire.
Predmet ovog članka je epizoda u gradu Kastorija (današnji Kostur) čiji je glavni junak bila energična, nasilna žena koja je gajila veze sa nejevrejima, uključujući janjičare, i osmislila plan da svom mužu oduzme svu njegovu imovinu, pa čak i pokuša da ga ubije. Osim što je zanimljiva epizoda 1680-ih, priča nagoveštava nekoliko značajnih aspekata jevrejskog života na otomanskom Balkanu, kao i u drugim delovima carstva.

Note:
- Ovo zajedničko izdanje "El Prezente - Studije o sefardskoj kulturi" i "Menora - Zbornik radova" je još jedan plod višestruke akademske saradnje između Univerziteta Ben-Gurion, Centra za ladino kulturu "Moše David Gaon" i Odeljenja za istoriju umetnosti na Filozofskom fakultetu Univerziteta u Beogradu (this joint issue of "El Prezente - Studies in Sephardic Culture" and "Menorah - Collection of Papers" is yet another a fruit of the multifaceted academic cooperation between Ben-Gurion University, Moshe David Gaon Center for Ladino Culture, and the Department of History of Art at Belgrade University's Faculty of Philosophy).
- Većina članaka u ovom broju prvobitno je prezentovana na međunarodnoj konferenciji "Zajednička kultura i pojedinačni identiteti: hrišćani, Jevreji i muslimani na osmanskom Balkanu“, koju su 2011. godine organizovale ove dve institucije u Beogradu (most of the articles in this issue were originally presented at the international conference "Common Culture and Particular Identities: Christians, Jews and Muslims on the Ottoman Balkans", organized in 2011 by these two institutions in Belgrade).
