One of key strength of this workis high standard of scholarship and of presentation. The overallargument is clear and well-presented; the knowledge of literatureis impressive; and the historical documentation is thorough,showing use of variety of research media. This work is admirableand extremely interesting and has a number of strengths, especiallyin terms of the empirical evidence marshalled for the examinationof Islamisation. /Dr Larbi Sadiki,University of Exeter,UnitedKingdom/ Mr Haveric clearly proves that the Bosnian Muslims (HomoBosniacus) over a thousand years produced precious culture,different languages, literature, arts, philosophy and theology,humanistic political and social philosophy and a culture ofdialogue, which are part of the spiritual and cultural achievementsof great civilisations. This monograph significantly contributes todynamic and more appropriate understanding of medieval Bosnia andBosnian Muslims./Dr Adnan Silajdzic,Faculty of IslamicStudies,Bosnia and Herzegovina/
