THE CATALOG OF THE OTTOMAN COURT REGISTERS OF THESSALONIKI Abstract: Greece is one of the countries that has Ottoman archival documents except Turkey. There are various collections and archival catalogues in the Historical Archives of Macedonia in Thessaloniki of Greece. One of these catalogues was formed under the title “Catalogue of Thessaloniki Court Records”. The Catalogue of Thessaloniki Court Records had been prepared by the former director of the archive (Vasilis DIMITRIADIS) and has 116 pages. It has 337 registers from 1694 to 1912. Almost all registers in the catalogue belong to Ottoman court records of Thessaloniki and nearby cities. All of the registers were physically identified and their dimensions and numbers of pages were stated. In the catalogue, the durability of the registers, condition of covers, wearing of the pages if there are any, which materials were used on the covers and what kind of ornaments were imprinted were explained in details. Moreover, considering the dimensions and the context of the registers, it was determined if different registers were united or not. In the context of registers, the historical interval between date of the first entry and the last entry was showed. In addition, it was also clarified what kind of documents the registers contain. Therefore, providing contextual information, such as huccet, ferman and vakifname, will contribute to the researchers in accelerating their study process. The purpose of the work is to present the first half of the court catalog of the Thessaloniki, prepared by the former director of the archives (Vasilis DIMITRIADIS), for the benefit of researchers.

ENORMOUS SOURCES OF THE OTTOMAN CULTURAL HERITAGE: JUDICIAL RECORDS
Osmanlı Mirası Araştırmaları Dergisi, 2021
The Ottoman Empire was a huge empire that hosted many different nations for centuries. The Ottoman State, that successfully implemented the concept of dynasty, left a lot economically, socially, culturally and politically to the communities that lived after it. It is not possible to directly identify these elements transferred from the Ottoman Empire to the present day. It is only possible to determine them indirectly through some written sources from the Ottoman Empire to the present day. One of these sources Judicial Records, which are used as data sources in many studies even today, are among the rare archive sources that enable scientists to firmly put their feet on the ground while commenting on the past. The aim of this study was to transfer to the reader what we can find about the Ottoman Empire in the Judicial Records, which are the enormous sources of the Ottoman cultural heritage, through examples. A randomly selected register was used, and all records in this register were categorized in a certain way. The extent to which this study guides the future studies to be conducted using the Judicial Records, the more it will achieve its aim and success.

In addition, no publications or standards aimed at the description of Ottoman documents have been encountered. This study has researched which metadata are used to describe Ottoman records found in collections in Turkey and Europe.

The paper is a preliminary study of the register Tapu Tahrir 798 located in the Ottoman Archives (Başbakanlık Osmanlı Arşivi) in Istanbul. In 1669 it surveys the newly conquered town of Candia (Crete) in great detail, from quarter to quarter and from building to building. The register provides rich information for the Venetian Candia, since it includes the public buildings of the town that passed to the Ottomans, as well as the names of the previous owners of the town dwellings, who had evacuated the town after its surrender, and the names of the current owners. Thus, this source provides us with the tools to study the spatial transformation of the town during the transition from the Venetian to the Ottoman rule, the settlement patterns of the religious and social groups, and the social use of space.
