Summary/Abstract: It is well-known that, beside waqf-namas as the basic sources, the Ottoman cadastre registers contains very important data about waqfs in Bosnia. This paper explains the great importance of these data. If we consider the fact that a small number of waqf-namas even less than 10% of waqfs formed in mentioned period have been preserved, whereas the cadastre registers have noticed all the waqfs in urban settlements, it became obvious how important are the data from these registers. Cadastre registers represent the only sources for a great number of waqfs, such as those in countries (Slavonia, Lika) which seceded from the Ottoman rule during the Great War (1680-1699).
