The present study looks at the financial history of the waqf of Muradiye in Edirne, one of the largest waqfs in the Balkans, in the first half of the 17th century. In some years, the harvest in the waqf villages was bad and grain prices went up due mainly to local natural disasters. However, the waqf did not go through a period of financial crisis to the extent which disturbed its regular functioning and ceased its charitable activities and services. Short-term financial difficulties that might last more than a financial year resulted from harvest failures and even shorter ones resulted from uneven cash flow due to the temporal imbalance between collection of rural incomes and regular expenditures. Financial distresses were relieved and cash flow smoothed out through receiving in advance payment for tax-farming, purchase on credit, borrowing and delaying salary and stipend payments.

The interplay between Turkish and Hungarian nationalism : Ottoman pan-Turkism and Hungarian turanism (1890-1918) Oğuz, Alaattin; Tokluoğlu, Ayşe Ceylan; Department of Sociology (2005) This thesis dealt with the issues of the emergence of Pan-Turkism in Ottoman Empire and of Pan-Turanism in Hungary between the years 1890 and 1920.

Surplus-receivers (Zevaid-Horan) from imperial waqfs: between philanthropy and political economy Aslanmirza, Özge; Orbay, Kayhan; Department of History (2017) This study examines the place of surplus-receivers in the waqf institutions through their contribution to the philanthropy and the political economy of the 16th-17th century Ottoman Empire.

Institutional transition in money, banking and finance : the Ottoman Empire and Turkey ; 1913-1930 Özgönül, Pelin; Özveren, Eyüp; Department of Economics (2003) This thesis aims at contributing to the debate on continuity/discontinuity from the Ottoman Empire to the Republic of Turkey regarding the fields of money, banking, and finance.

Multi-functional buildings of the T-type in Ottoman context : network of identity and territorialization Oğuz, Zeynep; Altan, Tomris Elvan; Department of History of Architecture (2006) This thesis focuses on the Ottoman buildings with a T-shaped plan and their meanings with respect to the central and centrifugal tendencies in the Ottoman context in the fourteenth, fifteenth and early sixteenth centuries. The emergence of the multi-functional buildings of the T-type in the Ottoman realm is simultaneous with the burgeoning of a state in the early Ottoman frontier milieu, which is profoundly intermingled with the notion of gaza; whereas the demise of the use of the T-plan is coincident with ...
