Laura Papo (Sarajevo, 15 March 1891-1942), née Luna Levi, was a Bosnian Sephardic writer, translator and playwright. Known by the pseudonym Bohoreta (“the first-born” in Judeo-Spanish), with which she sometimes signed her name, she made a decisive contribution to the study of Sephardic culture (a field that led her to collaborate with the Spanish Junta de Ampliación de Estudios) and to the dissemination of Judeo-Spanish, a language in which she is considered to be the first author of plays.
