JANISSARY ARTISANS IN THE EARLY NINETEENTH-CENTURY ISTANBUL

Öz

This study aims to present the profile of a random group of people who were on the pay/ist of the Janissary Co1ps in the ealy nineteenth-century Istanbul. Majority of the Ottoman chronicles as well as secondary sources has pointed to the increasing level of janissary involvement in trade and crafts in Istanbul which became an undenaible fact of everyday life starting from the seventeenth century. Testing of these observations in the light of janissary payroll registers (esame defterleri) as well as the question of the degree of janissary involvement in trade
and crafts at specific time periods and locations emerge as curious subjects which are worthy of attention. Present study tries to examine the profile of a random group of people who were on the paylist of the Janissary Corps by using four distant payrol registers dated to the period between 1815 and 1824.
