• Introduction; Constructing authenticity, ensuring continuity: death, dying and commemoration in Bosnian Islam; Remembering the dead and marking the deathscape; Converting the stone: text and image in early Ottoman Bosnia; Islamising memory, framing the community: funerary text in the religious imagination; Conclusion; Appendix; Bibliography; Index.

"This is an excellent and ground-breaking study of Muslim communal headstones in Bosnia-Herzegovina over the past 500 years. (...) Carved in Stone, Etched in Memory is a bold and fascinating book, and serves as an essential guide for a neglected topic. Buturovic writes with great style, flair and enthusiasm on a subject that could easily have been grim, maudlin or simply unattractive. (...) Extensively illustrated with excellent visual images, this book will appeal most to graduate students and anyone with an academic interest in Islam, Bosnia, Ottoman civilization and history, and the memorialization of the dead in general. Buturovic offers a sophisticated analysis of events that can easily be used as a model to study other societies."- Abdullah Drury, University of Waikato, New Zealand in Islam and Christian–Muslim Relations, 2016
