The sheep also was one of the revenue sources of the states. The peoples raising sheep in the Ottoman Empire had to pay ağnam tax to the state. There are some kinds of the sheep and one of them is merino. It was raised primarily for its wool. In Turkey, merino was also called as the Spanish sheep and its wool was used in the weaving industry. Although there are a lot of researches concerning ağnam tax in the Ottoman Empire, it is difficult to find a research related to the history of the sheep rising in Turkey, especially that of merino sheep. Therefore, the aim of this research is to reveal the first book/pamphlet published in Turkey in 1844 and evaluate it.},author={Mehmet DEMİRYÜREK-- Halil İbrahim CELLATOĞULLARI - Deniz ARICI},year={2017},journal={The Journal of Academic Social Science}}
