Moć znanja i knjige u osmanskom društvu: biblioteĉki profil kao refleksija intelektualnog kanona
The Power of Science and Book in the Ottoman Society: The Library Profile as a Reflection of Intellectual Canon

Summary/Abstract: This research is focused on Bosnian libraries of the Ottoman period as a resource as well as on their library profile. The reconstruction of the library profile is derived from the scholarly canon that reigned in the Ottoman social and educational system. Scientific canon and library profile are important for us, since they were based on them and we made conclusions about knowledge, teaching and learning about truths within the framework of Ottoman spirituality. It is very important because we observed that Bosnia and Herzegovina and its wider region have been for a long period part of a system of the Islamic spirituality. The spirituality constituted in such way used to essentially determine the man of that era, but it also created preconditions for the sound substance of Muslim spirituality in these areas all the way to our days.
