Životni put Javera Efendije Barucha u vrijeme austrougarske uprave

Abstract

Autorka na osnovu dostupne arhivske građe i periodike rekonstruiše životnu priču Javera efendije Barucha, jednog od najuglednijih i najimućnijih sarajevskih građana, u vrijeme austrougarske uprave Bosnom i Hercegovinom. Ličnost Javera ef. Barucha nije temeljno istraživana u dosadašnjoj istoriografiji. Poznato je da je Baruch društveni ugled stekao još u vrijeme osmanske uprave. Nakon dolaska Austro-Ugarske u Bosnu i Hercegovinu on ne samo da je uspio da očuva i učvrsti svoju društvenu poziciju, nego je stekao i zavidno bogatstvo. Cilj ovog rada je da predstavi nesvakidašnji životni put jednog sarajevskog Sefarda. U radu se analizira njegov životni put od liferanta za vojne potrebe, zakupnika carine, sarajevskog gradskog zastupnika, pa do osuđenika za uvredu veličanstva. Na osnovu dostupne istorijske građe propituje se postojanje promjena u odnosu tadašnje uprave i društva prema Javer efendiji Baruchu nakon 1887. godine.

Based on available archival material and periodicals, the author reconstructs the life story of Javer Effendi Baruch, one of the most respected and wealthy citizens of Sarajevo, during the Austro-Hungarian administration of Bosnia and Herzegovina. The personality of Javer Eff. Baruch has not been thoroughly researched in the historiography so far. It is known that Baruch gained a social reputation during Ottoman rule. After the arrival of Austria-Hungary in Bosnia and Herzegovina, he not only managed to preserve and strengthen his social position but also acquired enviable wealth. This paper aims to present the unusual life path of a Sephardic from Sarajevo. The paper analyzes his life path from a supplier for military needs, a customs tenant, a Sarajevo city councillor, to a convict for insulting majesty. Based on the available historical materials, the existence of changes in the relationship between the then administration and society towards Javer Effendi Baruch after 1887 is examined.
