Book Synopsis The Economics of Ottoman Justice by : Metin Coşgel
Download or read book The Economics of Ottoman Justice written by Metin Coşgel and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2016-10-27 with total page 365 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, the Ottoman Empire endured long periods of warfare, facing intense financial pressures and new international mercantile and monetary trends. The Empire also experienced major political-administrative restructuring and socioeconomic transformations. In the context of this tumultuous change, The Economics of Ottoman Justice examines Ottoman legal practices and the sharia court's operations to reflect on the judicial system and provincial relationships. Metin Coşgel and Boğaç Ergene provide a systematic depiction of socio-legal interactions, identifying how different social, economic, gender and religious groups used the court, how they settled their disputes, and which factors contributed to their success at trial. Using an economic approach, Coşgel and Ergene offer rare insights into the role of power differences in judicial interactions, and into the reproduction of communal hierarchies in court, and demonstrate how court use patterns changed over time.

Book Synopsis The Ottomans in Syria by : Dick Douwes
Download or read book The Ottomans in Syria written by Dick Douwes and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2000-01-24 with total page 253 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Ottoman state administered vast and complex territories and its main task was the maintenance of justice _adalet_ the key concept of government in the Ottoman view of society and state. Rulers who stepped beyond the bounds of the law were judged guilty of tyranny. By the late eighteenth century, this huge state was in decline, its capabilities were limited and its resources and manpower scarce. Consequently, the Ottoman Empire relied increasingly on a policy of coercion. In no province of the Empire was this more marked than in Syria. _The Ottomans in Syria_ examines the administration of the Syrian interior from 1785 to 1841 and shows how the Empire established independent local power bases and how their rule over the peasantry was based on oppression and extortion. This reached its apogee under the reformist governor of Egypt, Muhammad 'Alî Pasha, who rebelled against the Sultan and occupied all Syria. Dick Douwes investigates the local administration of the time, its political instability and factionalism, the oppressive nature of Ottoman taxation and the financial problems extending through the region and explores the emergence of military households. _The Ottomans in Syria_ will prove essential to historians of the Ottoman Empire and of the Middle East in general.

Book Synopsis Oppression and Salvation by : Haim Gerber
Download or read book Oppression and Salvation written by Haim Gerber and published by Studien zur Sprache, Geschichte und Kultur der Turkvölker. This book was released on 2018 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The phenomenon of complaints was a central tenet in the ideology of the Ottoman Empire, an obsession it inherited from former Middle Eastern empires, Islamic and pre-Islamic. Attention was directed in particular to the tendency of state officials to overstep the bounds of their authority, exploiting vast areas of the countryside to enrich themselves at the expense of the poor citizens and, as a consequence, to undermine the legitimacy of the ruler himself. On the other hand, so many complaints of harsh abuses might give the impression that the Ottoman Empire in its entirety should have collapsed as a consequence.0In the first place, the Sikayet Defteri is a legal document because many of the complaints stem from the point of departure that a certain Shari?a law has been broken, violating the natural rights of certain groups of citizens. More important than this, however, the Sikayet is a legal document from an additional, methodological perspective: the document provides a perspective on the Kadi, his court, and his position in the state, which are unlikely to be obtained from any other source.
Book Synopsis Breaching the Bronze Wall: Franks at Mamluk and Ottoman Courts and Markets by : Francisco Apellániz
Download or read book Breaching the Bronze Wall: Franks at Mamluk and Ottoman Courts and Markets written by Francisco Apellániz and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2020-08-03 with total page 342 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Breaching the Bronze Wall deals with the idea that the words of honorable Muslims constitutes proof and that written documents and the words of non-Muslims are of inferior value. Thus, foreign merchants in cities such as Istanbul, Damascus or Alexandria could barely prove any claim, as neither their contracts nor their words were of any value if countered by Muslims. Francisco Apellániz explores how both groups labored to overcome the ‘biases against non-Muslims’ in Mamlūk Egypt’s and Syria’s courts and markets (14th-15th c.) and how the Ottoman conquest (1517) imposed a new, orthodox view on the problem. The book slips into the Middle Eastern archive and the Ottoman Dīvān, and scrutinizes sharīʿa’s intricacies and their handling by consuls, dragomans, qaḍīs and other legal actors.

Download or read book Family and Court written by Iris Agmon and published by Syracuse University Press. This book was released on 2006-01-03 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The popular image of the family and the court of law in Muslim societies is one of traditional, unchanging social frameworks. Iris Agmon suggests an entirely different view, grounded in a detailed study of nineteenth-century Ottoman court records from the flourishing Palestinian port cities of Haifa and Jaffa. She depicts the shari'a Muslim court of law as a dynamic institution, capable of adapting to rapid and profound social changes indeed, of playing an active role in generating these changes. Court and family interact and transform themselves, each other, and the society of which they form part. Agmon's book is a significant contribution to scholarship on both family history and legal culture in the social history of the Middle East.
Book Synopsis Nature and Empire in Ottoman Egypt by : Alan Mikhail
Download or read book Nature and Empire in Ottoman Egypt written by Alan Mikhail and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2011-04-11 with total page 381 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In one of the first ever environmental histories of the Ottoman Empire, Alan Mikhail examines relations between the empire and its most lucrative province of Egypt. Based on both the local records of various towns and villages in rural Egypt and the imperial orders of the Ottoman state, this book charts how changes in the control of natural resources fundamentally altered the nature of Ottoman imperial sovereignty in Egypt and throughout the empire. In revealing how Egyptian peasants were able to use their knowledge and experience of local environments to force the hand of the imperial state, Nature and Empire in Ottoman Egypt tells a story of the connections of empire stretching from canals in the Egyptian countryside to the palace in Istanbul, from the forests of Anatolia to the shores of the Red Sea, and from a plague flea's bite to the fortunes of one of the most powerful states of the early modern world.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This highly-praised and authoritative account surveys the history of the Ottoman Empire from its obscure origins in the 14th century, through its rise to world-power status in the 16th century, to the troubled times of the 17th century.

A helpful chronological introduction provides the context, while separate chapters deal with the inner politics of the dynasty, the court and central government, the provinces, the law courts and legal system, and the army and fleet. Revised, updated and expanded, this new edition now also features a separate chapter on the Arab provinces and incorporates the most recent developments in the field throughout. New to this Edition: - An increased focus on religion, and on non-Muslim communities - More on the provinces and culture - An expanded taxation chapter, with more on charitable trusts, trade and the economy - Updated references throughout
