Özet:

In the Ottoman Empire, all kinds of cases of the subjects were handled by kadi courts, called sharia courts. Those who were dissatisfied with the decisions made by local courts had the right to appeal to the Divanıhumayun, which was the highest judicial body. However, the complainant had the right to appeal his complaint directly to the Divanı Humayun. While the cases reflected here were first recorded in the mühimme books, they later began to be recorded in the complaint books. By 1742, it was kept in a separate series of notebooks, the Ahkam notebooks. In urban history studies, the presence of judgment books in regions where there are no religious records is very important for researchers. In this study, the tax-related problems of Erzurum province between 1742 and 1800 were examined through Erzurum ahkâm books numbered 1, 3, 5, 7 and 9. Provisions related to tax were selected by scanning the provisions within the specified date range. In addition, the center's approach to complaints from the region, the solution suggestions given to the problems and the reasons for the problems were examined.
