Summary/Abstract: This work contains a list of philological works written by Bosniaks in the period between the 16th and 19th century, during the Ottoman rule in the territory of Bosnia. The manuscripts of these works in Arabic, Turkish and Persian language are found in libraries around the world, and the works known to us so far have been listed in the work, but there is always the possibility of finding a new manuscript (or a existing translation). Most of our philological heritage belongs to the Arabic language. Certain parts are presented from the manuscripts which have been translated into the modern Bosnian language, and from which we can see the way they were written, which classical books were the most popular, and as such served as textbooks. One of these books is Ibn Hagib's Arabic syntaxal-Kāfiyya, often commented and adapted to the needs of the then present educational system. The philological works of Hasan Kafi Pruscak are mentioned among others, who is not known as a philologist in our country.
