@article{2017,title={OTTOMAN TIMAR SYSTEM AND DISAGREEMENTS IN THE APPLICATION (ACCORDING TO PROVISIONS LOCATED IN ISTANBUL AHKAM REGISTERS)},abstractNode={The Ottoman State was an agrarian economy and agriculture was based on timar (manorial) system. It is possible to see the emerging disagreements in the timar system through the provisions reflected in Ahkam Registers. After 1742, Ahkam Registers were formed by compiling copies of decisions made about people’s complaints at Ottoman Divan in registers belonging to different regions. This study aims to evaluate the implementation of the timar system, relations between the sipahi and reaya (peasantry) and taxation problems according to the Istanbul Ahkam Registers. For this purpose 356 provisions related to agriculture which are located in numbered 6 and 7 of Istanbul Ahkam Books during the period from 1761 to 1766 were investigated. Each record of a book classified according to the threads of conflict and obtained statistical results evaluated. The results shows that the most problems of the agricultural system of Istanbul in 1761-1766 period were about “demesne (miri), manorial (timar) and property (mülk) land disputes” (43%) and “taxes” (27%).},author={Çiğdem KAVAK ÇEKEN},year={2017},journal={The Journal of Academic Social Science}}
