Summary/Abstract: This work presents the first complete register of the waqfs in the Sandjak of Bosnia. This register of the waqfs (i. e., of the waqf buildings, bequeathed property and expenditures of these waqfs) occupies 25 consecutive defter pages and is to be found at the end of the detailed register of the Sandjak of Bosnia completed in 1540 (fol. 390-402). The original defter is kept in Istanbul, Basbakanlik Arsivi (BBA), Tapu defter (TD), No. 211. The film and the photocopy of the defter are kept at the Institute of Oriental Studies in Sarajevo, No. 75. The defter contains a list of the waqfs in Sarajevo, Novi Pazar, Travnik, Visoko, Rogatica, Skoplje (Uskoplje), and Mitrovica. This shows that not all places of the Sandjak of Bosnia are included here. Sarajevo and Novi Pazar are shown to have the largest number of waqfs, which points to the fact that these were the two most developed towns of the Sandjak of Bosnia. Moreover, even this register is not complete, because the last page of the photocopy contains only the title »The Waqfs under the Jurisdiction of the Qadi in Skradin«, but does not list the waqfs themselves. In spite of that, a large number of waqfs was recorded here in a period when a more intensive cultural activity began to take place in Bosnia. Following is the list of the waqfs: The waqf of the mosque of Sultan Mehmed-khan in Sarajevo; The waqf of the mosque of Sultan Bajezid-khan in Rogatica; The waqf of Isa-bey's tekye in Sarajevo; The waqf of Skender-pasha's tekye in Sarajevo; The waqf of the masdjid, maktab, and the bridge of Ayas-pasha in Sarajevo; The waqf and the masdjid of Mehmed-bey in Sarajevo; The waqf and the masdjid of Yaqub-pasha in Sarajevo; The waqf and the mosque of Yahya-pasha in Sarajevo; The waqf of Firuz-bey for the madrasa, the district mosque and the fountains in Sarajevo; The waqf of shaykh 'Ala'uddin-dede in Sarajevo; The waqf of the shaykh Farrukh mosque in Sarajevo; The waqf of the bridge and karbiin-sariiy of 'All, the tanner in Rogatica; The waqf of Ilyas Arnaut in Rogatica; The waqf of Mevlana Šerefeddin mosque in Visoko; The waqf of the mosque of Sultan Mehmed-khan in Travnik; The waqf of the masdjid of Mehmed-bey in Sarajevo; The waqf of the mosque of Skender-kahya (ketkhuda) in Sarajevo; The waqf of the masdjid of Sinan-čelebi in Sarajevo; The waqf of the masdjid and maktab of Mimar-Sinan in Sarajevo; The waqf of the maktab and bridge of Hasan, a sarriidj (saddler) in Sarajevo; The waqf of the masdjid of Hadjdji Eynekhan in Sarajevo; The waqf of Ferhad, Nalbant (Na'lband) in Sarajevo; The waqf of the masdjid of Sinan Nalbant in Sarajevo; The waqf of the masdjid of Mevlana Arap (arab) in Sarajevo; The waqf of kuyundji Muhamed in Sarajevo; The waqf of the maktab of Hadjdji Eynebegi in Sarajevo; The waqf of the mosque of Mevlana Arap in Sarajevo; The waqf of Mehmed-čelebi in Sarajevo; The waqf of the wife of Skender, a tailor, in Sarajevo;
