The Muhammad Enverî Kadić Chronicle is a comprehensive compilation of documents related to the history of Bosnia covering the period between 1364 and 1928. Also known as Târîkh-i Enverî, the work was compiled by Muhammad Enverî Kadić, one of the most distinguished historians of Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Kadić entered state service in 1870 and held various official positions, including document clerk, registrar, judge, and chief clerk at the High Sharia Court. In addition to his governmental duties, he was actively engaged in archival and library work. His monumental 28-volume chronicle, which brings together materials he collected over a period of sixty years, occupies a central place in the historiography of Bosnia and Herzegovina due to both its scale and the richness of the historical sources it contains. By illuminating the administrative, military, political, socio-economic, and socio-cultural history of the Balkans during the Ottoman period, the chronicle provides valuable insight into the institutional and structural foundations of the Ottoman system in the region.

The work incorporates a wide range of primary sources, including Ottoman archival documents (firmans, berats, buyruldus, waqfiyyas, wills, and related materials), travel accounts, chronicles, court registers, miscellanies, divans, and various textual excerpts. It also includes samples of poetry written by Bosnian poets in Eastern languages, inscriptions from mosques, madrasas, and other architectural structures, and chronogrammatic poems found on tombstones—115 of which were composed by Kadić himself—along with numerous other historical records and materials. Together, these elements constitute the rich and multifaceted content of this monumental chronicle.

Arranged in chronological order, the 28-volume work comprises approximately 11,000 pages. The earliest document included in the chronicle dates to 1363 and concerns the battle known as Sırpsındığı, fought between the Ottoman ruler Murad I Hüdavendigâr and the Hungarian, Serbian, Bosnian, and Wallachian forces. The final document, dated AH 1346 (AD 1928), records notable individuals who passed away in Sarajevo during that period. The author’s autograph manuscript of the chronicle is preserved in the Gazi Husrev Bey Library in Sarajevo under the accession numbers R-7301–7328.

Within the framework of the project titled Preparation for the Publication of the Muhammad Enverî Kadić Chronicle, Preparation of Turkish and Bosnian Summaries, and Printing, carried out in cooperation between the Turkish Historical Society and the Gazi Husrev Bey Library of Bosnia and Herzegovina, a total of 11,196 images contained in the 28 volumes have been summarized, indexed (including personal and place names), and translated into Bosnian.
