Recording copies of the decisions made in the Imperial Council, the highest administrative organ of the state, these defters contain impor- tant information not only about the domestic affairs of the Empire but also about its foreign policy. This study examines the relations between the Crimean Khanate and the Polish-Lithuanian State as reflected in mühimme defters from 1551 to 1584. Border disputes, annual payments made or not made by Poland to the Crimean Khanate, diplomatic relations, exchange of ambassadors, and the residence of Alp Giray and Selamet Giray in Poland were some of the main issues reflected in mühimme defters

Most of these studies were written from the Russian imperial perspective, and so the city’s Turko-Tatar period has been neglected. The present article attempts to shed light on this period of Odessa’s history, drawing mainly on Ottoman chronicles and archival documents. The predecessor and nucleus of the city was the Karakermen redoubt (palanka), which was built by Mengli Giray Khan I in 1495. Karakermen was destroyed as a result of recurrent Cossack raids in the mid-16th century. Although the Otto- mans had intended to revitalise the city by rebuilding the redoubt during the last quarter of the 16th century, this project would be realized only in 1764 with the emergence of the town of Hocabey.

This manuscript is of importance since it provides historical data regarding the period between H. 880-1191 (1475-1778 C.E.) Crimean Khanate. This manuscript – an Anonymous History – is composed of seventeen folios and is now located in the Supplément Turc 515 in the Bibliothèque Nationale de France. This Anonymous History covers the history of the Crimean Khanate from Mengli Giray Khan to Şahin Giray Khan, in other words, from 1475-1476 to 1777-1778. Other copies of the Anonymous History are in the libraries of Saint Petersburg and Kyiv.
The manuscript, which forms the basis of our work, was translated into French by M. Kazimirski and published in the Journal Asiatuque in October and November 1833 after the revision made by Pierre- Amédée Jaubert. The Anonymous History located in the Bibliothèque Nationale de France is used for the transliteration in this study. The importance of this manuscript is also emphasized by comparing the manuscript with other chronicles of the Crimean Khanate.

Günümüze intikal eden bu belgeler Tanzimat öncesi ve Tanzimat sonrası şeklinde, Tanzimat öncesinden günümüze ulaşan belgelerin de temel olarak evrak ve defter olarak ikiye ayrıldığı görülmektedir. Osmanlılar kuruluş yıllarından itibaren hükme bağlanan konuları Divan ve Maliye kalemlerinde kaydetmişlerdir. Bu kayıt tutma geleneğinin Osmanlı adalet anlayışı ile birleşmesi neticesinde hukuki boyutu olan hükümler önce Mühimme Defterleri’ne 1649 yılında itibaren genel şikayet defterlerine kaydedilmişlerdir. Osmanlı bürokrasisindeki uzmanlaşma, devlet idaresindeki bozulmaya paralel olarak 1742 yılında Şikayet Ahkam Defterleri ortaya çıkmıştır. Şikayet Ahkam Defterlerinin alt bölümlerini oluşturan Rumeli, Özi ve Silistre Şikayet Ahkam Defterleri Balkan ve Doğu Avrupa’nın sosyo-ekonomik tarihi için kıymetli bir kaynak grubudur.

Abisi Devlet Giray Giray’ın ilk hanlığı döneminde kalgaylığını yürütmüş, Rus topraklarının içine kadar gerçekleştirilen son büyük Tatar akınını yönetmiştir. Devlet Giray’ın Sahip Giray’dan sonra Kırım’a han olma sürecinde yanında bulunmuş, abisinin İstanbul’a gönderdiği heyette yer almıştır. 1787-1792 Osmanlı-Rus Savaşı’nın başladığı sırada Kırım’ın kaybından dolayı Kuban Hanı olarak atanmıştır. Bu savaşta özellikle Boğdan cephesinde büyük gayret göstermiş hatta öz oğlunu bu çatışmalarda kaybetmiştir. Savaşın kötü gidişatı, Yaş ve Hotin’in düşüşü gibi nedenlerle hanlıktan azledilmiştir. Hanlıktan azlinden sonrada Kırım Hanlığı’na bağlı geleneksek gruplar olan Tatar ve Kazak toplumları ile Cengiz soyundan gelen sultanlar üzerindeki otoritesi devlet tarafından tanınmıştır. Giray hanedanın son büyük politik ve askeri mensuplarından olan Şehbaz Giray 1793 yılında vefat etmiştir.

Inhabitation of Tatar societies began with the Golden Horde in the Budjak and has been consistent in the Ottoman period.
