Waqfs are among the most important institutions
of Ottoman civilization with the many services they provide in social life. In
this respect, there are many studies examining the social and economic life of
the Ottoman Empire in the context of waqfs. The two types of documents commonly
used by researchers in these studies are the waqfiyyas and Ottoman court
records (şerʽiye sicils). However, it is seen that Mühimme registers series
which contains important information about Ottoman waqfs has not been examined
sufficiently. This study deals with the decisions taken about Bursa waqfs in
Imperial Council sessions. The main source of our study is the Mühimme
registers of the classical period covering 1553-1649 years. According to this;
on the basis of the provisions determined on the subject; topics such as which
waqfs are included in the decisions taken, how the case application was filed,
nature of the cases and how decisions affect waqfs were examined.
