A Study of the Early Ottoman Peloponnese in the Light of an Annotated editio princeps of the TT10-1/14662 Ottoman Taxation Cadastre (c.1460-1463)

My doctoral thesis, completed at Royal Holloway, University of London in 2009 and conducted under the supervision of the late Professor Julian Chrysostomides (d.2008), explores geographic, economic and demographic aspects of the Peloponnese in the first years of the Ottoman conquest (1460), on the basis of an annotated editio princeps of the first Ottoman taxation cadastre of the province of the Peloponnese (Defter-i Livāʾ-ı Mora), compiled sometime between c.1460 and 1463. Numbering 284 pages this cadastre was split into two parts in the recent past, and is now preserved in Istanbul, Başbakanlık Osmanlı Arşivi, TT10 and Sofia, Национална Библиотека ‘Св. Св. Кирил и Методий’, Ориенталски отдел, 1/14662.
