KÜTAHYA SANCAĞINDAKİ VAKIF VE ZAVİYELERİN MUHASEBE VE MÜZAYEDE İŞLEMLERİ (1832-1863).

In the Islamic world, dervish lodges and zawiyah, whose foundations date back to the Age of Happiness, came to the fore with their sufism-based education activities in the process of Turkification and Islamization of Anatolia. These institutions have been decisive in the enrichment of religious, cultural and economic life in the opening of many towns and villages to settlement, along with mosques. In Kütahya, dervish lodges and zawiyah belonging to the Mevleviyye, Nakşibendiyye, Rifaiyye ve Halvetiyye orders were established. In this study, in between 1832-1863, the auction procedures of the incomes of the districts and towns subjected to the Kütahya Sanjak and the lodges in the villages connected to them, and the data in some accounting documents were examined and evaluated based on archive documents.
