Simeon "Sima" Milutinović "Sarajlija" (Serbian Cyrillic:Симеон "Сима" Милутиновић "Сарајлија",pronounced[sǎːʋamilutǐːnɔʋit͡ɕsarǎjlija]; 3 October 1791 – 30 December 1847) was apoet,hajduk,translator,historian andadventurer.[1][2] Literary criticJovan Skerlić dubbed himthe first Serbian romantist.[3]
Sima Milutinović was born inSarajevo,Ottoman Empire in 1791, hence his nickname Sarajlija (The Sarajevan). His father Milutin[4] was from the village ofRožanstvo nearUžice,[5] which he left running away from theplague and eventually settled in Sarajevo, where he was married.[6]
When Sarajlija was a child, the family fled the town seeking because of a plague. They sought refuge at several locations in Bosnia andSlavonski Brod before ending up inZemun, where Sima commenced primary education which he never completed.[7] He attended a school inSzeged and was later expelled fromgymnasium inSremski Karlovci.[8]
During theFirst Serbian Uprising he was ascribe inKarađorđe'sGoverning Council (Praviteljstvujušći Sovjet). Sarajlija joined a guerilla group commanded by hajdukZeka Buljubaša.[9] It was in the heat of battles withOttoman Turks that his first poems germinated. They were mostly lovesongs, inspired by his first great love - Fatima.[10] After the collapse of theFirst Serbian Uprising he was ahajduk and teacher inVidin. He also spent a year or two in a Turkish dungeon. After evading the Turks, he went toChişinău (then part ofImperial Russia), where he remained, long enough to writeThe Serbian Maid. It is said that he sent reports toconfidants ofMiloš Obrenović I, Prince of Serbia concerningKarađorđe's followers in exile. In 1825 he went toGermany where he enrolled in theUniversity of Leipzig, though he did not tarry there. Instead, a year later, he went back toSerbia to be a clerk in the employ of Prince Miloš but on arriving inZemun, however, he turned about and went toTrieste,Kotor, and thenCetinje.
He arrived inCetinje on 25 September 1827, and the Bishop of Montenegro took him in as a secretary.[11] He also went among the tribes to dispense justice and settle disputes and took upon himself the education of Bishop's nephew Rade (Petar II Petrović-Njegoš). In 1829Bjelice tribe struggled againstOzrinići andKuće, two neighboring tribes, and his former pupilPetar II Petrović-Njegoš sent Sarajlija and Mojsije to negotiate peace among them.[12] Sarajlija remained in Cetinje for more than three years, until the spring of 1831. He came to Montenegro for another three times.
In 1836, he escorted Prince Miloš toConstantinople and went on to travel toPrague,Vienna andBudapest. He remained a while in Budapest and married Marija Popović-Punktatorka[13] (1810–1875), who was also a poet.
He died suddenly inBelgrade at the end of 1847. He was buried in the graveyard atSt. Mark's Church.
