This major contribution to Ottoman history is now published in paperback in one volume! Professor İnalcık was the first to discuss the register of the customs dues (gümrük bekaya defteri) of the important city of Caffa (Kefe) in the Crimea that the Ottomans had taken in 1475. This English presentation of the register, vvith essays on the Black Sea trade, tables and documents, gives the reader, in the vvords of the publishers, "a colorful tapestry of the Ottoman Black Sea trade system." It is more than a full publication of the oldest extant Ottoman customs register from Caffa, vvhich the English ambassador to the porte Sir Thomas Roe described as "the chief seat and port of the Euxine." İnalcık's essays are investigations of the Ottoman Black Sea trade as vvell as an analysis of the register. With meticulous examination of ali facts and fıgures, he describes the grain production, imports and exports of the Crimea, and the shipovvners, captains and merchants in the Black Sea, comparing his fındings vvith the trade of Kili and Kerş. The appendices, tables and rare documents bring forth fascinating details of Ottoman life. His data on vveights and measures, Ottoman and Crimean currency and the glossary make the book an invaluable chef d'oeuvre. The materials provided describe hovv the Black Sea vvas transformed into an Ottoman lake and hovv the northern communities in Moldavia, Ukraine, Muscovy and others benefitted from this grovvth. The customs register of Caffa is also a volume of a more general character vvith contributions on the history of the Black Sea economy.

Has-Bagcede 'Ays u Tarab: Nedimler, Siirler, Mutribler Osmanli sarayinda padisahlarin has-bagcede gecirdigi hos vakitleri ve bu idetin Islam oncesi Iran imparatorlugundan Emevi, Abbasi ve Timuri saraylarina uzanan koklu gelenegini, o donemlerde yazilmis degerli kaynaklardan derleyerek sunan bir calisma. Padisah isret meclisi adiyla anilan bu eglencelere yakin adamlari olan nedimlerle birlikte katilir; siir, musiki, ve raks sanatlarinin en seckin ornekleri esliginde eglenirdi. Bu meclisler, hukumdarin ve imparatorluktaki seckin siniflarin zevklerini ve yasam tarzlarini hem yansitir, hem yeniden bicimlendirirdi. Cicek bahceleri, havuzlar, fiskiyeler, su kanallari, nahiller, buhurdanlar arasinda, genc sikilerin icki sundugu bir mecliste siir okuyan, saz calan, sarki soyleyen usta sanatkirlar esliginde surulen zevk u safa, tum Ortadogu saraylarinda vazgecilmez bir gelenekti. Emevi ve Abbasi donemlerinden beri bu meclisler levizim-i saltanat yani hukumdarligin vazgecilmez bir ideti olarak kabul edilirdi. Avrupa saraylarinda da bu gelenegin karsiligi olan regalia, yani olaganustu ziyafetler ve eglenceler, hukumdarligin gerekleri arasinda sayilmistir. Dogu'da olsun, Bati'da olsun saray kulturu halk kulturunden her zaman farkli olmus ve bu farklilik isret meclisi gelenegine ve gosterilen tepkilere de yansimistir. Bir yandan lalalar uzerinden sehzadelere, diger yandan sikinimeler ve kabusnimeler yoluyla ust sinif mensuplarina en ince ayrintisiyla aktarilan bu gelenegin muhalifleri de futuvvetnimeler ile kendini ifade ederdi. Halk icin yazilmis ahlik kitaplari olan futuvvetnimelerde dinin emirlerine karsi hareketler daima kotulenmis, sarap baslica gunah sayilmistir. Ne var ki, sikinimeler ve kabusnimeler dini kurallara aykiri sayilan unsurlari Islamiyet ile bagdastirmayi bir odev saymistir: bu eserlerde isret meclislerinin daima Tanri ve Peygamber'e dui ile basladigi ve tovbe ile son buldugu hep vurgulanir. Zira insan zayiftir, gunah isler, sonunda Gaffiru'l-zunub -gunahlari
