Abstract
The article discusses the funds for orphans (eytam sandıkları) in the Danube Vilayet of the Ottoman Empire during the 1860s and 1870s. Information from Ottoman and Bulgarian sources—registers (kondiki) of Orthodox church boards, official Ottoman yearbooks (salname), the loan register of the fund for orphans in the town of Trân, and others—has been collected, statistically processed and analysed. The macro- and micro-level analysis is focused on the capital and administrators (müdür) of the funds for orphans, while we also discuss the interest rates that they charged. A comparison with another credit institution (menafi-i umumiye sandıkları) allows us to point to differences that are essential for understanding credit practices in the Ottoman Empire in the period under consideration.
期刊介绍：
The Turkish Historical Review is devoted to Turkish history in the widest sense, covering the period from the 6th century, with the rise of the Turks in Central Asia, to the 20th century. All contributions to the journal must display a substantial use of primary-source material and also be accessible to historians in general, i.e. those working outside the specific fields of Ottoman and Turkish history. Articles with a comparative scope which cross the traditional boundaries of the area studies paradigm are therefore very welcome. The editors also encourage younger scholars to submit contributions. The journal includes a reviews section, which, in addition to publications in English, French, and other western European languages, will specifically monitor new studies in Turkish and those coming out in the Balkans, Russia and the Middle East. The Turkish Historical Review has a double-blind peer review system.
