Summary/Abstract: It is general knowledge that the spread of Islam in the Ottoman times was accompanied by the spread o f the Hanafi school of thought in this region. However, the exact routes of the spread of the Hanafi school to the central part of the Balkans have not been studied in details. This work attempts to establish those routes by studying the silsila of Hasan Kafi al-Aqhisari (1544-1616), as presented in his book Nizam alulama ila Khatam al-anbiya.
