Summary/Abstract: Review by Željko Grahovac on two itineraries by Ibrahim Kajan (“Tragom božijih poslanika” / “On the Path of God’s Prophets” and “Tragom bosanskih kraljeva” / “On the Path of Bosnian Kings”) presents basic substantial and literary, poetical elements of Kajan’s itinerary prose. Itinerary “On the Path of God’s Prophets” is a distinctive reconstruction of cultural and religious past of ancient civilizations in the area of south-east Turkey, called the Land of God’s Prophets. The other itinerary, “On the Path of Bosnian Kings”, depicts “the cultural and spiritual setting of medieval Bosnia”. Kajan’s itineraries are a travel through both space and time.
