Nish joined the Ottoman administration in 1386. Ottoman rule continued in the region until 1878. In the 19th century, various rebellions against the Ottoman State took place in Nish and its neighbourhood. The 1841 Nish Rebellion is one of the most notable among them. For this reason, the related rebellion was determined as the subject of the study. In the study were investigated which the activities of Serbian prince Milos Obrenovic, main prince of the period Mihail and Miliyo (Miloje Jovanović) in the region during the Nish Rebellion, the tax issue that emerged after the Tanzimat, and the misconduct of some Ottoman officials. Especially Serbia’s encouraging and provocative attitudes towards the people of the region against the Ottoman State were analysed. Nish, Leskovac Sehirkoy, Kamaniche and Mutafcha villages, Vidin and Kula regions were identified as the spread areas of the rebellion. It was observed that Serbia carried out many activities against the Ottoman State before and during the Nish Revolt, and the Ottoman State tried to take certain measures. The aim of this study is to reveal the activities of Serbia in the face of the 1841 Nish Rebellion and the measures taken by the Ottoman State against this rebellion.

Osmanlı Devleti’nin daimî ordusuna asker yetiştirmek için kurulan Yeniçeri Ocağı, 16. yüzyıldan itibaren pek çok kurumda olduğu gibi bozulmaya başlamıştır. Osmanlı Devlet adamlarıyla ilmiye mensupları Osmanlı kurumlarında görülmeye başlayan bozulmayı durdurabilmek maksadıyla padişaha ve devlet adamlarına raporlar sunmaya başlamışlardır. Raporlarda en çok üzerinde durulan konuların başında Osmanlı Devleti’ni ayakta tutan birinci güç olarak kabul edilen Yeniçeri Ocağı’nda zuhur eden bozulmalar gelmektedir. Devletin yayılma ve genişleme politikasında başat güç olan Yeniçeriler zamanla sultanlarını katleden ve isyanlarla anılan bir yapıya dönüşmüştür. İşte bu çalışmada Târih-i Kitâb-ı Müstetâb Ahbâr-ı Aliyye der-Gazavât-ı Murtazaviyye, Kitabu Mesalihi’l Müslimin Menafii’l Müminin, Koçi Bey Risalesi, Nesayihü’l- Vüzera ve’l Ümera, Kavanin-i Yeniçeriyan ve Aziz Efendi Siyaset-namesi gibi bazı siyaset- namelerden hareketle devlet adamlarının ve ilmiye mensuplarının ocaktaki bozulmayı nasıl gördükleri ve bu bozulmanın önüne geçmek için ne gibi tavsiyelerde bulundukları üzerinde durulmuştur.

Cases of sexual abuse, which have highly traumatic and destructive physical and psychological consequences on children, are a universal problem in all societies. From past to present, sexual abuse is not welcomed in all Religious and moral teachings and social norms, and it is tried to be prevented with various criminal sanctions. However, when the victim is a child, the crime becomes difficult and complex to uncover. Indeed, children are often abused by their families and relatives. Children hide the abuse or are unable to express themselves for reasons such as fear of being deceived or abandoned. Today, child abuse frequently comes to the agenda of the country through mass media and non-governmental organizations and causes social reactions. However, this is not a contemporary problem and cases of sexual abuse against children were also found in Ottoman society. Examining the history of child abuse is crucial for analyzing the social underpinnings of the increasing incidence of child abuse today, whether covertly or overtly. When we conducted a literature review on the subject, we observed that there is no academic study directly on sexual abuse against girls in the Ottoman Empire. From this point of view, our study will focus on the position of children in Ottoman law and the crime of sexual abuse, the functioning of the law in the face of child victimization in the light of the information we have obtained from archival documents and cases of sexual abuse against girls in Ottoman society. Thus, by making a call from centuries ago, we aim to make visible the sexual abuse against children, which is a moral and conscientious problem of our society today. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Since the founding of the Ottoman Empire, Sufi groups and schools have been an integral part of social life, literacy-cultural environment and economic relations. Among these schools, Mevlevîyeh, whose origins and formation date back to the late period of the Turkish Seljuk State, stands out with its literary power and influence on ascendant statesmen such as sultans and viziers. However, the relations between the Ottoman Empire and the Mevlevîs in Konya Mevlânâ Complex and spread from there to the ends of the Ottoman geography, did not develop in a stable and uniform manner, independent of changing social and political conditions. It is known that these relations in the early modern period contained many elements of conflict. In case the function undertaken by the Sufi groups as one of the carrier elements of the Ottoman central ideology was eliminated, practices such as cutting the exemptions and income items provided by the central authority were implemented. In this context, exemptions and the management and control of the income that Mevlevîs obtained from foundations were the main areas of conflict between Ottoman bureaucrats and Mevlevî sheikhs. In this study, the comprehensive restoration process of Konya Mevlânâ Complex and the reconstruction of certain spaces during the reign of Selim III, Mahmud II, when the centralist policies of the Ottoman Empire were carried out within the framework of a detailed plan and scheme, were examined through repair books and foundation records. The traces of the central policy towards Mevlevîs were explained in the context of the process in question. In addition, the appointment of Mevlevî sheikh, dismissal processes, and the spokesperson roles undertaken by Mevlevî sheikhs on social issues were explained in this context as historical data revealing the policy of the Ottoman central government towards Mevlevîs. In addition, archive documents other than the survey and repair books were also used to explain the Ottoman central government’s policy towards the Mevlevîs. The charters describing the appointment-dismissal processes of Çelebi Efendi and the petitions regarding their mediation roles in social issues or their requests for assistance on various issues were also examined in this context.

From the second half of the nineteenth century, translation activities began to be seen in the field of literature in the Ottoman State. Although translations were made mainly from French literature in this period, translations from English literature were also made. This article will focus on how the English poet John Milton was known and perceived by the Turkish literary and intellectual public, first during the Ottoman Empire and then during the Republic of Turkey. Articles about Milton and the firstly translations of his poems will be included, and the Ottoman Empire's view of Milton and his works will also be discussed as reflected in the Ottoman State archives. Apart from these, it will also be emphasized how the perception of John Milton in Turkey followed in the transition from the Ottoman Empire to the Republic of Turkey, along with the change of regime and approach.

The highest court in the Ottoman State is the Imperial Council (Divân-ı Hümâyûn). Here, both state issues were discussed and people's complaints were heard. Everyone has the right to apply to the Council, regardless of religion, language, sect or gender. The complaints heard were classified in accordance with religious law and customary law. In the study, Sivas Ahkâm-ı Şikâyet Register number 5 was examined. This register consists of the complaints submitted to the Council by the people living in the province of Sivas. The provisions regarding 1041 complaints from the province between 1752 and 1755 are recorded in the register. By looking at the decision parts of these provisions, an evaluation was made about how many different ways the complaints made to the Council were concluded. The provisions were grouped under two main headings, depending on whether the case has been concluded in the Council or not. These were then divided into subheadings. Travel permits, which were recorded in the register but without complaints, and orders to ensure road safety were also briefly mentioned. It was determined that more than half of the complaints made to the Council from Sivas province were sent back to the scene of the incident to continue investigation. The reasons and justifications for this was emphasized. The study also focused on the methods applied to fugitive criminals and cases that took a long time to be resolved. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

At the end of the 14th century, a new actor appeared on the European scene, the Jagiellonian dynasty, which for two centuries played an important role in the political life of Central and Eastern Europe. The Jagiellons also was connected with the Balkans. Here, the coins of the Jagiellonian rulers, from the progenitor Władysław Jagiełło to the last representative Zygmunt II (including those who were on the Hungarian throne), which were found in present-day Bulgaria, are examined. Both individual finds and those found in the hoards have been analyzed. Compared to the issues of Władysław Warneńczyk, the coins of the other rulers are less common, which seems logical, given the specificity and the difficulty of the period; but in the 16th century, and more specifically around the middle of the century, the number of specimens began to increase. The cultural record like this is a good proof of the contacts between the Bulgarian lands and the nations of Central Europeduring this period. The article provides a basis we can stand upon in future research on the matter, since the sample of Jagiellonian coin finds in this geographical area is expected to increase.

While the origins of syphilis remain a subject of debate, it is widely acknowledged that it emerged following the discovery of the American continent. This virus, originating in America, rapidly spread across Europe during the 15th and 16th centuries. The impact of syphilis, a contagious disease, became significantly pronounced in the Ottoman State during the 19th century. During this period, it is evident that the Ottoman Government undertook various initiatives and implemented measures to combat the epidemic. In the latter part of the 19th century, syphilis escalated in the Ottoman territories, and economic challenges hindered the necessary efforts to combat the disease. Another challenge was the perception of syphilis as a simple ailment, leading to widespread ignorance. The stigma associated with the disease, often transmitted through sexual contact, prompted individuals to conceal their illness. Those seeking to address syphilis, considered a shameful ailment, often resorted to individuals posing as physicians or healers. Unfortunately, these charlatans, lacking any medical credentials, exploited people financially and contributed to the further spread of the disease, exacerbating public health concerns. Celaleddin Muhtar, a graduate of the School of Medicine, emerged as a prominent Ottoman physician in the battle against syphilis. He conducted extensive studies aimed at educating the public about syphilis, publishing his work titled "Syphilis Articles" in 1899 and 1907, presenting it to the public. In this comprehensive work, Celaleddin Muhtar emphasized that his commitment to writing about the disease was a debt of loyalty to his state and nation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper studies the fiscal capacity of the Ottoman Empire. In the paper the fiscal capacity is defined in terms of the delay in the transfer of tax revenues to the central treasury. Delays in tax collection are analyzed as a function of distance to the center, tax types, and the volume of tax revenues. Econometric analysis based on data from the records of daily transactions of the central treasury (ruznamçe defterleri) of the late 16th century shows that the increased distance from the center is associated with a higher delay in tax collection. Moreover, the impact of the distance varies by tax types. It is also observed that compared to avarız taxes, revenues from jizya, ağnam, and mukataa enter into the treasury in a greater delay. Finally, results show that revenues with higher volumes are transferred to the treasury fa ster. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

While the developments in the world in the 20th century enabled the Zionist movement to gain strength and support, it also caused the Zionists to turn to Palestine with all their might. This movement, which influenced a part of the Ottoman Jewish community, was not only a theoretical knowledge, but also an ideology that turned into practice. Jews belonging to this movement, as well as in many other fields, carried out activities in the field of espionage and endeavored to establish the Jewish State. In this context, the activities of the spy Spira family in Palestine are important. The Spira family who were deciphered in a letter sent from Germany to the Ottoman Hague Embassy, engaged in political, economic and social as well as military activities in favor of Zionism in Palestine. However, this field of activity was not limited to Palestine but also spread to Germany, England and the Netherlands. The Spira family who started its espionage activities before the First World War, remained active throughout the war. It was understood that these activities continued until March 1918 and that they were neutralized by the operation of the intelligence units of the 4th Army. It also was understood that these activities continued until March 1918 and that they were neutralized by the operation of the intelligence units of the Ottoman 4th Army. In this study, the espionage activities of the Spira family who were organized in the Ottoman Empire and different countries during the First World War, were examined in the light of Ottoman archive documents.

The Crimean Khanate, founded by Haji Giray in 1441-42 with the decline of the Golden Horde State's dominance over its lands, started to be patronized by the Ottoman State from the year 1474. Thus, the Ottomans secured their northern borders, especially against the Russian threat, while the Crimean Khanate became part of the most important military power of the time and region. This subordination granted the khanate authority in all respects, and the khanate became able to dominate the Northern Black Sea territories. However, as a result of the decisions taken by the Ottoman rulers prioritizing the interests of the state, the Crimean Khanate gradually began to lose its influence against the Russian threat. The increasing Russian threat was not prioritized due to the Ottoman policy of expansion on other fronts. Not only did this delay in taking necessary measures against the Russians, but it also rendered the Crimean Khanate vulnerable to internal unrest as the forces of the Crimean Khanate were allied with the Ottomans on all fronts. Eventually, the Crimean Khanate, which was first granted independence by the Treaty of Küçük Kaynarca signed between the Ottoman State and the Tsarist Russia, was invaded by the Russians in 1783. In this study, the political process that led to the collapse of the Crimean Khanate, which had become quite powerful and gained influence in its region under Ottoman patronage, and the impact of Ottoman policies in this respect are discussed. On the other hand, the state administration and administrative structure of the Crimean Khanate, which continued its existence in the north of the Black Sea for about three hundred and fifty years, was also the subject of the study.

Tarihin her döneminde, insanın var olduğu her yerde farklı toplum ve kültürleri tanıma yönünde bir merak söz konusu olmuştur. Kuşkusuz bu merakı gidermenin en etkili yöntemi de seyahat etmektir. Ancak ziyaret edilecek ülke hakkında bilgi sahibi olmadan atılacak adımlar telafisi zor neticeler üretebilecektir. Önceden fikir edinmek ise daha rahat hareket etme imkânı sağlayacak, tedbir almayı kolaylaştıracaktır. Bu sayede muhtemel sıkıntılar asgari düzeye indirilebilecektir. Özellikle de günümüze kıyasla teknolojik imkânların yetersiz, toplumsal iletişimin daha alt seviyede olduğu geçmiş dönemlerde bu husus daha fazla önem arz etmektedir. Erişilebilirliğin dolayısıyla da bilgi edinmenin hayli güç olduğu dönemlerde farklı toplumlar hakkında malumat sahibi olmanın en etkili yöntemlerinden birisi geçmiş tecrübelerden istifade etmektir. Geçmiş tecrübelere ise sadece sözlü değil, yazılı kaynaklar vasıtasıyla da ulaşılabilmektedir. Her ne kadar seyahatnameler, biyografi türündeki çalışmalar ve farklı türden eserler yazılı literatür kapsamında değerlendirilebilecekse de bu çalışmada yazılı kaynak olarak bir el kitabı üzerinde durulacaktır. Zira tıpkı günümüzde olduğu gibi geçmiş dönemlerde de seyahate çıkacaklara yardımcı olacak bu türden rehber kitaplar mevcuttur. Kılavuz eser niteliğindeki bu el kitapları ziyaret edilecek coğrafyayla ilgili her türden bilgiyi içermektedir. Bu çalışmada da Avrupalıların işini kolaylaştırmak ve onlara yol göstermek maksadıyla 1854 yılında İngiltere’de kaleme alınan bir el kitabı göz önüne alınarak Osmanlı Devleti’ne yönelik seyahatlerde dikkat edilmesi gereken hususların neler olduğuna değinilecektir.
