Summary/Abstract: The Oriental collection of documents of the Regional Museum in Visoko holds the original written material created at the end of the period of Ottoman and early Austro-Hungarian rule in Bosnia and Herzegovina as well as during the Austro-Hungarian period and the time between the two world wars. The documents of the collection were written in Oriental languages, in Arabic and Ottoman Turkish, and to a lesser extent in Bosnian. A small part of the collection, which consists of manuscripts and printed material in Arabic, has been catalogued in the paper. All catalogued documents, with the exception of one work, are of a religious nature, in the field of basic sources of the Islamic religious law - the Qur'an and Hadith, or Hadith science and Islamic literature. By cataloguing seventeen documents, a part of the fund of the Oriental Collection, which the museum inherits in its holdings, is presented to the professional, scientific and general public for the first time.
