Summary/Abstract: Two manuscripts found in the Oriental collection of the Mostar Franciscan Monastery Provintialate contain notes with the names of certain Mostar Muftis and represent a very important source for the history of the Mostar Mufti’s Office. All former authors who wrote on this topic mentioned these two sources. Present literature says that these two sources date back to the 16th and 17th century, and that the Muftis mentioned in the sources lived and served in the aforementioned period. However, these notes do not date back to the aforementioned centuries, but were written in some later period of time. This paper will re-examine the chronology of the service of the 16th and 17th century Muftis, but also those from the 18th century as well, as the information from the manuscripts related to the 18th century.
