Abstract

This article examines the accumulation, temporal variation, and inequality of wealth in the Ottoman judiciary between the late seventeenth and early nineteenth centuries. Using information from the estate inventories, we calculate the gross and net wealth of judges at the time of death. Comparisons against contemporary economic indicators show low to moderate levels of wealth accumulation among the judiciary. Wealth levels varied significantly across judiciary subgroups and they dropped drastically in the latter part of the eighteenth century. Regression analysis shows that differences in motives for bequests and family connections to other members of the judiciary contributed to the inequality of wealth.

奥斯曼帝国的司法与财富,1689-1843
本文考察了17世纪末至19世纪初奥斯曼司法体系中财富的积累、时间变化和不平等。利用遗产清单中的信息,我们计算出法官死亡时的总财富和净财富。与当代经济指标的比较显示,司法部门的财富积累水平低至中等。不同司法群体的财富水平差异很大,在18世纪后半叶,财富水平急剧下降。回归分析显示,遗赠动机的差异以及与司法部门其他成员的家庭关系造成了财富的不平等。
