Summary/Abstract: The paper brings the translation of the 1562 census in the Jajce District. This is the first complete census for this District. It gives us the population density and the density of settlements (villages, feudal lands, hereditaments, zemins and residential sub-quarters), the ethnic structure of the population, the process of converting into Islam and economic activities. As the villages had a status of agricultural producers, recorded were also the cultures grown in this area as well as the rates of feudal taxes. In this District there was also the waqf (endowment) of Gazi Husrev Bey at a place called Dnoluka (the source has it as Idnoluka). The endower left the yields from this land to his imaret (soup kitchen) in Sarajevo.
