Waqf Activities of the Local Notables (Ayan): The Case of Kayseri Sanjak

Abstract

Waqf (foundation) institutions, which have an important place in the history and civilization of the Ottoman Empire, are the most helpful legal institutions that people have ever implemented. The role of awqaf (waqf plural) in the construction of religious, cultural and municipal buildings such as bridges, hospitals, fountains, libraries, mosques, madrasas, caravanserais cannot be denied. In addition to the state, Kayseri sanjak ayans (local notables), who had a certain amount of wealth, participated in waqf institutions with public service characteristics, by establishing several awqaf. Here, it was tried to reveal how the ayan provided services to the public by establishing awqaf through two important foundation certificates/vakfiye that are determined to belong to Kayseri ayan. In this study, which focuses on the waqf activities of the Kayseri ayan who had undertaken the management of the foundations, it was explained which foundations they are in terms of utilization and administration by comparing the two awqaf. The study then focuses on the information on income and wealth allocated to the awqaf. By determining the common points and differences between the awqaf, it examines the dimension of the religious factor in terms of investments. Finally, the question of whether the ayan established these awqaf in order to protect their wealth from confiscation or to really serve the society is discussed.
