The first catalogue, created in 1837 in Vidin, comprises entries of 2405 volumes of manuscripts and old printed books. The second inventory, established in 2018 by Dr Sefer Hasanov, contains information about 1981 volumes sent to Istanbul in 1888 in compliance with the decision of the Bulgarian-Turkish Commission. Thus putting together the two inventories gives a full account of the fonds of the Vidin Waqf library which can now be considered to be entirely revealed.
