Марсиљијев плен: турски документи о селима београдског вакуфа Мехмед-паше Јахјапашића
Conte Marsigli’s War Souveniers: Ottoman Documents on the Villages Belonging to the Mehmed Pasha Yahyapaşaoğlu’s Vakıf in Belgrade

Summary/Abstract: The paper presents an edition of twenty two different 17th-century documents (tapunames, müraseles, mektups and a tezkire), relating to Mehmed Pasha Yahyapaşaoğlu’s vakıf villages in the vicinity of Belgrade (Mirijevo, Gornje Slance, Donje Slance and Višnjica). The documents are selected from the collection of Ottoman documents preserved in the Bologna University Library. They formed part of the personal archives of Kadı-zade Mustafa Çelebi, cabi (collector of the revenues) of the vakıf. The material is important for elucidating how the vakıf operated and, hence, for understanding the urban structure and economic life of Ottoman Belgrade, and the role of the vakıf’s suburban villages.
