Özet
This paper introduces methods to estimate wealth levels and disparities among Muslim inhabitants of 18th-century Ottoman Kastamonu. Our sources in this pursuit are
estate inventories of the deceased (sing. tereke) as recorded in Kastamonu court records
(sicils), mainly in the first half of the 18th century (1712–60). By analyzing information
provided by these sources through a variety of quantitative techniques, we measure
levels of inequality among Muslims of Kastamonu and describe the relationship between economic privilege and social, political, religious, and occupational status as well
as gender identity. Our work outlines the contours of economic stratification in 18thcentury Kastamonu and reveals the relative positions of various social groups within this
hierarchy
