Summary/Abstract: So far, in our scientific papers there has been a consistent belief that the author of the first printed Alchamiado text » Ovo je od virovanja na bosanski jezik kitab« is Mehmed Zaim efendi Agić from Bosanski Brod. The author of this paper proves that there two existing editions of the same text, both lithographed in Constantinople. On the basis of the final wordings in each of them bi- Qalami Mustafa efendi in the former, and bi-qalami l-hagg Mustafa Räqim in the latter) he comes to the conclusion that the author of the first text printed in Arabic is Mustafa Rakim. As for Mehmed Zaim efendi Agić, it is stated in the final sentence that the book was printed owing to him (to his marifetiyele) i. e., that his contribution in its printing was a significant one.
