Özet:

This article was produced from the information on pages 121-250 of the "Muhimme Register No. 52". The data obtained about the banditry movements in the Ottoman geography were evaluated by examining the 355 rule in the specified pages. As it is known, the years 1583-1584 is a period when the Ottoman Empire struggled with the Iranian Safavid Empire. The security problems caused by the disorderly people, who also took advantage of the continuation of the war, required the intervention of the state when they could not be prevented by the local administrators. Thus, banditry events were discussed in the Divan-ı Hümâyun and ceased to be a local problem, and as a result of the intervention of the state, these events were recorded in Mühimme registers. The study consists of three main parts. In the first part, the definition and causes of banditry, in the second part the formation and spread of the banditry movement, and in the third part, the measures taken by the state against banditry and the penalties given are mentioned. In the article, in which regions the banditry events occurred, the causes and consequences of the occurrence of the events were emphasized. In this process, who took part in the bandit groups and the damages they caused to the people of the region were examined according to the provisions in the Mühimme register. In addition, information is given about many events that disrupt the social order carried out by bandits, and the methods used by the state to prevent banditry events and the punishments given to bandits are emphasized.
