Summary/Abstract: This paper observes the presence of Hafiz Shirazi on several levels: the manuscripts of his Divan in Bosnia and Herzegovina, the literary-historical reviews and poetic questioning of Hafiz’s work and the translations. Each level of Hafiz’s presence in the Slavic South shapes the picture of the reception of his poetry, primarily by the Bosniaks, and then by the other Southern Slavic peoples, among which the Serbian romantics are particularly prominent. In order to make the overview more comprehensive, the interest of this paper also encompasses other important Persian classics and their significance for the development of the European literatures from Renaissance to Romanticism, as well as the Southern Slavic romantics who were inspired by Hafiz’s poetry.
