The Near and Middle East

The total number of manuscripts included in this volume of the catalogue is 512 codices, that is, 833 works. The theme of the manuscripts is works about Arabic grammar, mostly written in Arabic although several are in Turkish. Several more manuscripts are about Turkish and Persian grammar, but again they are written in Arabic. Grammar was basic to all levels of education and the Library contains many copies of a great number of grammar textbooks. We have worked on only about half of these works, defined in Arabic as an-nahw. The remaining works, as well as the manuscripts concerning morphology—which are treated as as-sarf in Arabic—will be included in one of the next volumes. The Library contains a significant number of very rare works, some of which exist without copies as far as we can ascertain. In particular, this Catalogue contains works of Bosnian authors, some of which are autographs. In the period when these manuscripts were written the Bosnians were engaged in all the scientific disciplines studied at that time and wrote works in various linguistic disciplines of Arabic. This fact, and the fact that many of the manuscript works in this catalogue were transcribed in various places in Bosnia-Herzegovina as well as in neighboring countries, are of special significance. Arabic was studied in Bosnian medressas (religious schools) and is still being taught there today. These manuscripts were used in the study of Arabic until the appearance of the first printed book of Arabic grammar in Bosnian in 1907, and even after that, especially by the high Islamic 'Ulema.
