Sažetak

In the extensive manuscript holdings of the Gazi Husrev-bey’s Library in Sarajevo, the encyclopedia manuscripts/seience encyclopedia, dictionaries and lexicons are of special importance. In the Catalog of the Arabic, Turkish and Persian Manuscripts - Volume I prepared by Kasim Dobrača, at the begining of the volume, as a separate section under the title Encyclopedia eight Science encycIopedia manuscripts are studied - seven in Arabic and one in Turkish, ali of them from different periods. Some of the manuscripts are independent works, while the others are codexes in which the encyclopedia are in the first place. This is not their final number, since a large number of manuscripts have not been yet catalogized, among them lexicons and dictionaries.

Detailed study of these works will, among other things, enable a better insight of the spirit of the time in which these works have been written, as well as the influence they had on the eultural and scientific life in these parts.
In the period from 334 to 1213 h. in various parts of the Islamic State fifty works covering various program orientations of al-Farabi’s and Ibn en- Nedim’ s school of the development of Science of the Muslims were written. The encyclopedia manuscripts in the Gazi Husrev-bey’s Library mostly belong to the former school and were written in the mentioned period or later, after the Ottoman rule ended.
