This study consists of the transcription, summary and evaluation of the provisions of the Mora Ahkam Book No. 11, covering the period between H. (1189-1212) / M. (1775-1797). Based on this Ahkam Book, an examination was made of how the Ottomans and Venice implemented policies against each other, especially in the political, economic and diplomatic fields, in the last quarter of the 18th century. The study in question includes the political (diplomatic), commercial, status of bailos and consuls, rights and exemptions of merchants and musta'mins, problems of piracy, banditry and unjust usurpation, debt and receivables between individuals, maritime law and border violations, the status of other Venetians whose rights and responsibilities were secured by ahidnâme, and the functioning of the justice mechanism in court cases and their resolution. The main source of the study is the provisions of the Mora Ahkam Defteri No. 11, which is examined and covers the period between H. (1189-1212) / M. (1775-1797). Our main problematic is which factors, ways and methods the Ottomans and Venice resorted to in the struggle to become effective powers in the Mediterranean in the 18th century and how they used them. In this context, the diplomatic missions of the bailos and consuls in the political and commercial relations between the Ottoman Empire and Venice in the last quarter of the 18th century were examined, and the customs system, the ahidnâme policy and the millet system in the Ottoman Empire were tried to be explained.
