Manuscript works of Sheikh Jujo in Gazi Huserv-bey's library

Abstract

Sheikh Yuyo, by the manuscripts of his works preserved up to now, can be classed among the best-known scholars from Bosnia and Herzegovina that composed their writings in the oriental languages (Arabic, Turkish, Persian) during the Turkish Empire. His works from different fields of Science make him belong to the scholars well known in the whole Empire in the second part of 17th and at the beginning of 18th century. The greater number of his works, written mostly in the Arbic language, are being kept in Gazi Husref Bey Library in Sarajevo. Out of 26 of those manuscripts, 13 are authographs, which shows that it is impossible to bypass this Library when the studies of and the research into Sheikh Yuyo's works are in question. The more so since some of his manuscripts are available only this library.
