Ottoman Fiscal Codex
The "Ottoman Fiscal Codex" project is an ambitious research initiative exploring the complex financial and political networks of the Ottoman Empire between 1750 and 1850, through the detailed analysis of the fiscal codex MAD 9726. Our work involves building a relational database to uncover intricate connections among actors, networks, and financial systems, utilizing unique Ottoman accounting techniques. This project not only aims to provide new insights into the economic history of the Ottoman Empire but also to refine digital humanities methodologies. This project is lead by Ali Yaycioglu, Associate Professor of History and Director of the Abbasi Program in Islamic Studies at Stanford.
