Abstract

The “medjmu'a” is the name of a special kind of Oriental manuscripts, with texts in the Arabic, Turkish, Persian, as well as in “Bosnian” languages. These were, in fact, the notebooks of private persons, learned and literate men who reco11ded various historical events, literary compositions and characteristic data from various fields of learning. These manuscripts were of smaller or larger formats. Those of larger format were bound in leather or hard paper and their contents were variegated. The other were of smaller (pocket) format and they usually contained only religious, lyrical, and other poems.

The paper presents an important medjmu'a from the first half of the 19th century, which was composed by Mula Mustafa, also called Firakija, of Sarajevo. The name Firaki was the writer's poetic or dervish cognomen.

The author of the paper has presented here the above-mentioned medjmu'a in the form of short fragments, following the pages and citing briefly these notes and text on one page. This medjmu'a comprises 63 pages of text of larger format.
