DJIZIE PAYMENTS IN ESKI DJUMA KAZA (TARGOVISHTE) IN THE 19th CENTURY (ACCORDING TO DATA FROM OTTOMAN REGISTERS)

Summary/Abstract: The possibility of using archival documents, including those from the archives in the Republic of Turkey, allows various studies and analyzes to be carried out, which shed light on Bulgarian history, and can be used in the field of cultural studies, sociology, and linguistics. The ledgers undoubtedly represent historical sources extremely rich in business and economic data. Under Ottoman Sharia law, non-Muslims living within the country were identified as dhimmis and a tax called djizie was collected from them. The Ottoman registers contain data on djizie tax payers and thanks to them it is possible to obtain information about the non-Muslim population and the economic status of the settlement. The present study is based on the data obtained from the nufus, temettuat and djizie registers of Eski Djuma (Targovishte), which are kept in the Ottoman Archives in Istanbul.
