Transcription and evaluation of the population book of the Mosul state, Mosul central district, No. 03742, dated H.1253 M.1 1253

The Ottoman Empire recorded its population since its establishment. After the conquest of a region, a census was made to determine the sources of income and the population was determined. During the stagnation period, the censuses were disrupted due to internal rebellions. The Ottoman Empire abolished the Janissary Corps with the Auspicious Event in 1826 and established the Asakir-i Mansure-i Muhammediyye army. In order to determine the male population required for this army, which was the beginning of the Citizens' Army, the male population of the Ottoman Empire was counted. For this purpose, the first modern census was planned to be carried out in 1828-1829, but was interrupted due to the Ottoman-Russian War. After the end of the war, censuses were restarted in 1830-31. The aim of this study is to examine the Mosul population book number 03742 and use the information obtained.
