ANALYSIS OF PRICE MOVEMENTS OF MEAT AND MEAT PRODUCTS SOLD IN THE OTTOMAN EMPIRE BETWEEN THE 17th AND 19th CENTURY: THE CASE OF KASTAMONU

Kastamonu city has hosted many civilizations throughout its history. The city which came under the Ottoman rule in 15th century gained the characteristics of a traditional Ottoman city in the late 15th century, when the migration into Anatolia starting in 1071 began to lose the traces of the Seljuk and Danişment hegemony. In addition to the legal and administrative organizations, the records of Sharia Registry had an important place in the Ottoman economic life. In these records, there are many records of the legal, administrative and economic life of Kastamonu as well as the legal, administrative and economic information of the settlement where they were kept. It can be understood from the records of Sharia Registry that the narh registry had an effect on the prices in basic consumer goods in all parts of the Ottoman Empire. Among these are price ceiling [narh] records belonging to the products in Kastamonu Livestock Market. The study includes the price movements of meat and meat products in Kastamonu Live Animal Market in the sharia court records held in Kastamonu between the dates of H.1084 –1221 / M.1673 –1806. With the economic structure of the meat products of the city to be revealed in this study, it has been intended to complete the shortcomings in the previous studies in this field.
