Abstract

In this paper, relying on information from almost 4,500 waqf deeds (vakfiye) available in Istanbul sharia court registers for the period 1550-1900, we study long-term changes in the creation of new cash waqfs including the periods of expansion, stagnation and crises. We also examine the participation of different groups—namely, officials (askeri), civilians (reaya), and women— as cash-waqf founders. We find that women were significant contributors to the waqf sector and that, contrary to a common assumption in the literature, officials’ participation as benefactors was proportional to that of other groups. Furthermore, we show that the relative shares of social groups as benefactors in the waqf sector f luctuated significantly over time. Thus, researchers should be cautious about making generalizations based on a single, set ratio of involvement as if it applies to all times and places.

伊斯坦布尔创建新现金Waqfs的长期变化

在本文中，我们根据伊斯坦布尔伊斯兰法院1550-1900年期间登记的近4500份waqf契据(vakfiye)的信息，研究了新现金waqf创造的长期变化，包括扩张、停滞和危机时期。我们还研究了不同群体的参与——即官员(askeri)、平民(reaya)和妇女——作为现金流的创始人。我们发现，妇女是waqf部门的重要贡献者，与文献中的普遍假设相反，官员作为捐助者的参与与其他群体的参与成正比。此外，我们表明，社会群体在waqf部门作为捐助者的相对份额随着时间的推移而大幅波动。因此，研究人员应该谨慎地根据单一的、固定的参与比例进行概括，就好像它适用于所有时间和地点一样。
