Some Data on Mâlikâne - Mukataa in the District of Ankara in the Second Half of the 18th Century

Abstract

Several mukataa in the district of Ankara in the 18th century that were transformed into mâlikâne (or were sold as mâlikâ- ne) are investigated in this article. Generally, a mukataa was a stateowned source of revenue or a source of tax revenue for the treasury. Activities such as customs and ihtisâb (supervision of guilds and markets) where a share of the income belonged to the state, that is the collection of taxes; the right to operate establishments that had become monopolies such as mints and candle factories; and in particular sales monopolies, such as the sale of minerals/metals could all be mukataa. While commercial and industrial management were the first to fall into the category of mukataa, in periods when the treasury was in financial difficulty, when high-revenue producing timar and zeamet were vacant the practice of farming them out (iltizâm) was started. By the gradual creation of new taxes the field of tax-farming was expanded. What were the payments made to the state in the administration mâlikâne (state lands held for life by a private owner)? First of all was the advance payment known as muaccele made at the conclusion of an agreement; in fact this advance payment that would eliminate financial straits was the most important reason for this practice The starting price at auction was based on a muaccele value two to ten times the average profit that the mukataa owner would obtain, as determined by the state. In addition to this, there was a yearly payment on anything designated as property and office fees of up to 20% of the property's value. After the sale all financial rights, in addition to partial administrative and disciplinary rights passed to the mâlikâne; no official other than a qadi could interfere. The şeriye siciller (registers kept by qadis) provide information on both the subject of mâlikâne, as well as the conflicts among them.
