Sarajevske vakufname u Kadićevoj Hronici (1844-1877)
The Sarajevo waqfnamas in Kadic's Chronicle (1844-1877)

Summary/Abstract: History ( تاريخ انورى ) – Chronicle is a first-class source for the study of the cultural history of Sarajevo. Among the most frequent documents found in the Chronicle are waqfnamas – deeds of endowment, mostly the ones related to Sarajevo. The paper brings them in chronological order. Of a total of 25 transcripts of the Sarajevo waqfnamas that we established in Kadic’s Chronicle for the period between 1844 and 1877, we found 18 of them in the article ”The list of Waqfnamas from Bosnia and Herzegovina which are housed in Ghazi Husrev-bey’s Library” by Zejnil Fajić. They are mainly appendices to bigger waqfs – endowments, either of mosques, mektebs – elementary religious schools, drinking fountains, or endowment of shops, storehouses, various plots of land, flourmills, hostels, houses, cash, construction of drinking fountains, repairs to bridges, etc. The paper presents the contents of the mentioned Sarajevo waqfnamas for the said period in the form of registers, and two notes about endowments in Sarajevo from that period, brought in their integral translation.
