The collections of Oriental manuscripts in Franciscan monasteries in Bosnia and Herzegovina are very diverse in terms of their themes, and according to the data provided by relevant sources, it can be assumed that they were also used in the educational process during the Ottoman rule in Bosnia. The monasteries, like all other institutions of cultural, national, and educational significance, suffered great losses, so today we can speak of collections preserved in several instituti-ons: the Archive of the Franciscan Province (formerly the Provincialate of the Herzegovinian Franciscans in Mostar), the Franciscan Monastery in Fojnica, the Franciscan Monastery in Petrićevac, the Archive of the Franciscan Monastery Gorica-Livno, the Professors’ Library of the Franciscan High School in Visoko, and the Museum of the Franciscan Monastery Tolisa - Vrata Bosne.
