Ottoman Financial History
This work examines the financial systems, tax regulations, budget practices, and revenue-expenditure balances developed by the Ottoman Empire over centuries. A fundamental source for understanding the state's economic structure, the book details the timar system, mukataa revenues, customs, war financing, budget ledgers (accounting records), and the functioning of financial administration.
Ottoman financial history was crucial not only from an economic perspective but also in terms of political power balances, social order, and central-periphery relations. Based on archival documents and ledger records, this book reveals the role of finance in state administration and its contribution to the empire's longevity. Thanks to its critical edition, it is a reliable and in-depth reference source for both historians and readers interested in Ottoman cultural and political history.
