Summary/Abstract: This paper examines the diverse treasures of folklore in Mula Mustafa Baseski’s famous Chronicles (Ljetopis). As the first Bosnian folklorist, his notes are extremely valuable to the understanding of Bosniak folklore heritage. Intangible culture holds a special place within cultural heritage. This study addresses the topics of dances, dancers and places to dance, musicians, singers and instrument makers, and storytellers, each of which renders a unique image of life in Sarajevo in the second half of the 18th century. The chronicler introduces us to the most important cultural events from which we, today, can learn of the full range of important testimonies about dance, playing musical instruments, and narration.
