Abstract

The aim of the preseiıt study is twofold: First, to present a completesurvey .0fOttoman administrative divisions in Epiros during the
nineteenth century, trace their gradual evolution through successive
reform initiatives, and arrive at a. precise definition of their spatial
, extent; second, to exploit this information.in evaluating and interpreting certain statistical data on the distribııtion and development of
Epirote populations. Although, there exists a mass of published and
manuscript data on these questions, its usage and interpretation has
tended to proceed in arather superficial way, due to a lack of coneeptual clarity in handling geographical and administrative terminology,
as well as theexclusive focussing of popuJationstudies on the so-cal1ed "ethnic" distributi()n ofOttoman populations, usua1İy inorder to
prove political points.
