Bolman je bio Bolman

Bolman je bio Bolman

Jovan M. Nedić

Monograph on the Baranja village of Bolman. The book has three main parts: "From the history of the village and the church municipality", "Bolman was Bolman – Vidoja Bijelić's memories" and "Ledari", with a description of Bolman's customs and mentality.

With as many as 758 pages, it belongs to the most comprehensive books about small places such as Bolman. It contains about 350 photos, and to describe what is in those photos, it would take 26 pages. The chapter "Small dictionary of the Bolmanian divan" has 68 pages with 800 definitions. It took 11 pages for the bibliography, and 18 pages for the table of contents. The book also has a "General register of terms" on 28 pages with 1000 items, although only names and titles more important for the book are included in that register. If a complete index of terms had been created, the book would have been at least fifty pages longer. It was printed in 300 copies, and its publication was financed by the Municipality of Jagodnjak.

Some parts of the book are written in Cyrillic, some in Latin, in accordance with the fact that the people of Bolman use both letters. Most of the book is written, of course, in the literary language and with the Ijekavian pronunciation, because that is what the Bolmanians and other Raci from Baranja originally spoke, as the native Serbs of Baranja used to be called. Parts of the book are also written in vivid Bolman divan, because one of the goals of the book was to preserve old words and former Bolman "stories" in as authentic a form as possible.
