Abstract: The Mittag-Leffler process $X=(X_t{)}_{tge0}$ is introduced. This Markov process has the property that its marginal random variables $X_t$ are Mittag-Leffler distributed with parameter $e^{-t}$, $tin[0,infty)$, and the semigroup $(T_t{)}_{tge0}$ of $X$ satisfies $T_{t}f(x)=mathbbE(f(x^{e^{-t}}{X}_t))$ for all $xge0$ and all bounded measurable functions $f:[0,infty)omathbbR$. Further characteristics of the process $X$ are derived, for example an explicit formula for the joint moments of its finite dimensional distributions. The main result states that the block counting process of the Bolthausen-Sznitman $n$-coalescent, properly scaled, converges in the Skorohod topology to the Mittag-Leffler process $X$ as the sample size $n$ tends to infinity.
