Great military victories and vast territories can be conquered by the strength of the armies. However, the strength of armies alone is not capable of keeping the people living on these lands under the roof of a state for many years. It is necessary to establish a state and legal order that will keep these people together and have the desire to live together. Those who founded and expanded the Ottoman Empire achieved this goal. They have created a strong state structure, a just legal order and a social structure that supported the desire to live together.&nbsp;

Osmanlı Hukuku: Devlet-i Aliyye’nin Temeli

Osmanlı Hukukuna Giriş_Website 1_2023.jpg

Throughout history, the Ottoman State holds a unique place among the Turkish states witnessed, not only for being the state with the broadest geography but also for having a lifespan exceeding six centuries, and for peacefully bringing together around twenty communities of different religious, sectarian, ethnic, and cultural backgrounds. The justice system it established and the law it applied, namely Ottoman law, play a significant role in this. At the core of this law, one can find the Islamic legal legacy inherited from previous Islamic states, as well as the administrative skills developed throughout history since the Huns and the traditions of Turkish statecraft.

While applying Islamic law, the Ottomans enriched it with their own interpretations, leaving us a legacy of rich court records and archival documents. This legacy is immensely valuable in revealing the humane and judicial aspects of Ottoman governance. The book in your hands tells the brief story of this richness.

Istanbul Qadi Registers 

Within the scope of this project, 40 daftar&rsquo;s as samples of the registers of Istanbul courts (Istanbul, Galata, Eyup and Uskudar) have been selected from different ages and transliterated into modern Turkish and the facsimiles have been added to every volume in order for comparison. The forty-volume output of the project, which was initiated in 2008, was published with the support of the commission of 2010 European Capital of Culture-Istanbul.

These court records include not only the records of legal disputes which were passed to the courts, but also the records similar to today&rsquo;s municipal works and notary documents like regulations and standards for artisans, craftsmen and tradesmen, price lists of the goods, waqf bills, bills for sales, donations and loans, documents about partitions of inheritance, testaments, marriages and divorces; and finally copies of decrees and orders from the Imperial Court about construction and maintenance of the buildings belonging to waqfs and/or the public. These data help to penetrate into the details of Ottoman cultural life. Interesting information about non-muslims can also be found among the legal disputes that were passed to the courts. These records make it possible to see how the law as a whole was applied among Ottomans.

The project was conducted under the direction of ISAM&rsquo;s former director Prof. M. Akif Aydin, and Dr. Coskun Yilmaz contributed to it as the editor. Prof. Idris Bostan, Prof. Feridun Emecen, Prof. Ismail Erunsal, Prof. Mehmet Ipsirli and Dr. Mustafa Oguz worked as the members of the academic board. Also, a helpful index which shows every word in its context was prepared by the late Dr. Yucel Dagli.

The published work was presented to the public on 20 December 2012 with a press conference organized at Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality building and now is available on internet free of charge.
