Summary/Abstract: Here I would like to discuss the "how-much-per-hane" question from the comparative angle, i. e. through a comparison of Ottoman and non-Ottoman sources for some Croatian regions, with the final aim of trying to extend the acquired insights to the wider space of Ottoman Balkans in the 17th century. I also hope that this investigation could contribute to the debate on the cizye defterleri and how to use them. By doing this we could offer additional explanations to the phenomenon of the decrease in numbers of cizye-payers in the 17th c. as compared with the figures we have in the 16th century records.
