Abstract

The Ottoman state authorities tried to prevent çiftlik formation in all parts of the empire. Yet, they also tried to keep this valuable and cash/kind-producing economic commodity under strict surveillance. The tax-farming and confiscation systems served as two important mechanisms of state control and ensured the state’s redistributive/reallocative role. Having the right to confiscate and redistribute estates, as well as being the ultimate decision maker in the tax-farming system, the Ottoman authorities acted as the chief regulator of the çiftlik market. Therefore, the central state was always a crucial party to be taken into consideration in the triangle of the çiftlik economy together with the peasantry and the çiftlik holders. This article provides a survey of four çiftliks in Larissa (Yenişehir-i Fener), namely Yeğenli, Göçeri, Köleler, and Zaim, in order to understand the redistributive and reallocative role of the Ottoman imperial center and its impact on the history of the region.

The Mediterranean has always attracted the imagination of modern historians as the epicentre of great political entities, such as the Egyptians, Greeks, Romans, Arabs, Ottomans, Venetians, and Spanish. However, it seems that the sea itself was always on the margins of historical inquiry – at least, until the publication of the famous two-volume work by F. Braudel in 1949. This collection of essays aims to offer a vertical history of war in the Mediterranean Sea, from the early Middle Ages to the early modernity, putting the emphasis on the changing face of several different aspects and contexts of war over time.
