Ilija Ognjanović Abukazem
Dr. Ilija Ognjanović Abukazem (Serbian Cyrillic: Илија Огњановић Абуказем; Novi Sad, 30 April 1845 - Budapest, 8 August 1900) was a Serbian physician, writer, humorist, and magazine editor.
Education[edit]
He came from one of the oldest families in Novi Sad. Grandfather Gliša was the parish priest in Novi Sad, and Ilija's father Stevan was an assesor and titular solgabir.[1]Ilija attended primary school in Sremska Kamenica and Novi Sad..[2]He finished four grades of high school in his hometown. After receiving a scholarship from the city magistrate, he went on to complete the 5th and 6th grade of high school in Sremski Karlovci and the two final years (7th and 8th grade) in Pecs and Budapest. In Pecs, he organized a student association of which he was president. As a stipendist and cadet of Sava Tekelija's college] (known as Tekelijanum in Hungary) in 1866/67, he enrolled in medical studies in Pest, and continued at the famed Medical School of the University of Vienna, where he graduated in 1872.
Doctor[edit]
After finishing his studies, he returned to Novi Sad, where he worked as a private physician. Thanks to his professional abilities, in 1884 he was appointed city physician. In addition to the degree of doctor of medicine, he was also a specialist in surgery and obstetrics, therefore, from 1888 he also held the post of manager of the Maternity Department of the Novi Sad Hospital. He was also the personal doctor of the famous philanthropist Maria Trandafil.
He is the author of many medical articles, brochures, and books, namely "Diphtheria Headache for Serbian Mothers" (1876) and "How to Care and Treat Cholera" (1884) which stand out. In Novi Sad, in 1894, he published the "Names of Diseases that May Be Fatal", and "The History of Our Medical Terminology",[3] the first multilingual dictionary of medical terminology in Serbia[4]in which he translated from Latin into Serbian, German and Hungarian[5]. He is one of the founders of Serbian medical terminology along with Milan Jovanović Batut[6]and others.
Ognjanović lived in Kazandžijska Street (today's Subotićeva) No. 9, where he also had an office[7].
Literary work[edit]
He has been writing since his youth, so as a high school student, he started student handwritten papers Zolja and Đački venac (Students Garland), in which students published poems and prose texts. From 1864-65. He published short stories in Danica (Morningstar) and Zmaj (Dragon), a humorous newspaper published in Pest by Jovan Jovanović Zmaj. Since then, his friendship with the Dragon began, under whose influence he took the nickname Abukazem in 1866.[8]He also wrote for other Zmaj's papers - Žiža and Starmali. His Walks through Novi Sad, published in Starmali, dealt with life and events in the city in a satirical way. In the period from 1874 to 1892, he edited Javor, a magazine for entertainment, science, and literature[9]. He published short stories, notes, sketches, and information in it. He is the author of several humorous and satirical works such as "Abukazem's humorous calendar" (1878 and 1881), "Merry Tales" (1880), and "Jokes" and "Satire' (1882).[10]
Ognjanović acted as a humorist for 39 years, and as such he became famous. It was said in his time: "What Jovan Jovanović Zmaj was in poetry is what Abukazem was in prose". Ognjanović helped the Serbian people's political struggle abundantly with his humor and satire. His humorous articles were worth as much as good politics. His humor was strong, cheerful, effortless, cheerful, and of unusual impression; his saber-sharp satire, from which the enemies of the people had much reason to fear[11].
He died in 1900 in Pest, and then his body was transferred to Novi Sad, where he was buried in the Almaški cemetery.[12][13].
Ognjanović was a member and vice-president of the Literary Department of Matica Srpska [14], [15],a member of the Diocesan Administration of Bačka, a corresponding member of the Serbian Medical Association [16], a corresponding member of the Serbian Academic Association (since 1883) and an honorary member of the Serbian Royal Academy (since 1892)[17]
With his wife Darinka née Lemajić, they had three children - a daughter Dobrila and sons Georgij (who died at the age of two) and Žarko.
