Application of the Cebelu cost in Sivas province (1190-1233 / 1776-1817)

In the Ottomans, within the framework of the timar system, the fully equipped soldier that the timar owners were obliged to take to the expedition was called "cebelü". The obligation of the timar owners to serve in the military is regulated in the laws. According to the provisions in these laws, timar sipahis were required to take one voyage to Jabal for every three thousand akçes on their dirlik (iptida), and zeamet holders had to take one for every five thousand akçes after the first five thousand akçes. When the owners of the timar and zeâmet, who had obligations to cebellu, did not remove the cebellu, tax was demanded from them under the name of "bedel-i cebelü". According to the available literature, XVII and XVIII. Due to the changes in war techniques in the centuries, the decrease in the need for soldiers with a timar and the increase in the need for money of the treasury, the application of cebelu price has become widespread. This thesis study covers the transcription and evaluation of the Sivas State Cebelü Cost Registers numbered 587 and dated 1817, dated 1776. The aim of the thesis study is to determine the problems experienced in the cebelu price system in the period 1776-1817 and to analyze both periods by comparing the cebelu price records in both books in terms of quantity and content. The thesis consists of introduction, three main parts, conclusion and appendices. In the first part, information is given about the timar system and the books kept related to this system. In the second part, the numerical distribution of the records related to the price application determined in the two Sivas Cebelü Cost Registers according to the years and their evaluation in form and content were made. First, information about the timar system was given, then the timar system related to the timar system was categorized as content and the data were shown in tables. In the third part of the thesis, the data of both Cebelü registers has been analysed shortly. In the conclusion part, the conclusions reached from the findings obtained from the main parts of the thesis are emphasized. In the appendices, the townships, villages and names of the cebellus in each livâ, which were determined from the two books examined, were put into the table.
