Salih Amin's Mejmua

Abstract

Salih Amin's Mejmua, from the Ghazi Husref-Bey Library in Sarajevo, takes its origin from the Hadžiahmetović family of Žepče, who are descendants of the poet and muderis Abdul Wahab Ilhamiya. The Mejmua was written in 1840. Ilhamiya had sons Muhamed, Emin and Halil. It is supposed that Salih Amin was Ilhamiya's son.
The Mejmua (Codex) has 81 page and contains poems or parts of poems by forty-four poets. Among these eleven are by Abdurahman Sirri, while those of Ilhamiya number four in Arabic, forty-nine in Turkish, and thirteen in Serbo-Croatian.
