- Abstract
Egypt is the most geographically wealthiest province in terms of agricultural production of the Ottoman Empire. However, there has not been enough research on its financial structure and economic function in the first half of the 18th century. For this reason it is untouched working field. Collecting taxes from Egypt has always been a problem for Ottoman State. Managing a large geography and collecting its tax is a compulsory but difficult process. The central government has strived to solve this problem by using Mamluks which traditional actors of Egypt. While he provided the state administration with the Ottoman governor who appointed from Istanbul, he left the administration of the provinces to the Mamluk administrators called kashifs. The financial audit was performed by the defterdâr and ruznamaji appointed from Istanbul. This process was achieved by the relationship between the peasant, possessor and the kâshifs. The collected taxes are recorded in the Ijmâl register. These documents, which have been prepared considering the costs and revenues, have been the main tool for the province’s accountability against Istanbul. While the total amount of tax collected in these documents is included under the heading irâdlar, the expenditures made are recorded as el- mesârif. The expenditures were made in accordance with the needs of the holy land and principality with the permission of the central government. An irsâliye-i hazîne was created by preparing and controlling the taxes collected from the provinces. This study aims to examine the financial structure of Egypt in the first half of the 18th century, based on the documents of Ijmal records. In this direction, the organic relationship between Ijmal records and “irsâliye-i hazîne” treasure, which has been examined for twenty year intervals, will be revealed. In addition, the study will be supported with the Muhimme records and archive documents.
