Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. Original autograph documents signed 'Subasi Ömer (Abdehû)'. Five documents related to 'Ösür' which was a kind of Ottoman tax. Various sizes: 12x9 cm; 17x12 cm. In Ottoman script. 5 separate pages in total. Written in riq'a on special papers with 'ahar'. Signed and sealed by Subasi Ömer. All documents written between the years of 1818-1832 as 'roumi' dates (1234-1248 r.) and start with 'huve' traditionally. Sûbasi was the city guard during the early Ottoman era. During the reign of Sultan Mehmed the Conqueror, 'subasi's began to lose its former effectiveness, but its field of activity was further simplified and expanded. It is claimed that Byzantine institutions had an effect on this according to the historians. (Türkiye Diyanet Vakfi Islam Ansiklopedisi). 'Öshür (Ösür)' [i. e. Tithe] refers to the 'zakat' collected from land products in fiqh (Islamic law). This documents include the subject of ösür (tithe) worth. Written in and for a case 'Kanlicak' kariyesi of Üsküdar (Scutari). They reflect the Ottoman state and tax organization in the early 19th century. Subasi Ömer served probably between the years of 1814-1832 in that area. Some contemporary markings on documents. Signed by Author(s).
