Summary/Abstract: Cultural memory encompasses events, personalities and categories to which a community attributes fundamental values. Every person, event, phenomenon, researcher, record and all other forms are carriers of memory that together form a very wide space of memory, or more vividly – they are woven into a very wide and intertwined network of memory connectors. Poetry of the Islamic literary tradition could be understood as a mnemonic art par excellence, which is based on the Islamic cultural image of the world and with all its poetic forms is a space of memory and a literary staging of a place of memory. The Persian literary tradition in the later forms of Bosniak authors makes them read again through new layers of time through the rhetoric of memory. This paper deals with the connective structure of cultural continuity in the Islamic literary tradition in the Persian language, the uniqueness of its poetics, as well as those authors which are part of our heritage within the broader cultural-historical context.
