Surveying the population and revenue of six Palestinian
cities--Jerusalem, Hebron, Gaza, Ramie, Nabulus, and Safed--in the
sixteenth-century, Amnon Cohen and Bernard Lewis consider the
numbers, composition, and distribution of the Muslim, Christian,
and Jewish population, and discuss the different headings of
revenue, the manner of assessment and collection, the yield, and
the destination of the money collected. This monograph traces these
developments, in detail, over an extended period and for a
significant area of the Ottoman Empire. Based on the Tapu registers
in Istanbul and Ankara, this book provides to the academic world a
collection and analysis of documents previously unavailable and
unreadable except to a very small number of people. Translations
and annotations of these texts illuminate and explain the terms and
institutions found in Ottoman surveys of population and taxation.
Professors Cohen and Lewis establish the fact that in the cities of
Palestine, population and revenue showed a rather spectacular
parallel development towards the middle of the sixteenth-century
when the disruptive conditions of the conquest had disappeared and
Ottoman administration had been well established. Then, in the
latter half of the century, they find a recession again. Originally
published in 1978. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest
print-on-demand technology to again make available previously
out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton
University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of
these important books while presenting them in durable paperback
and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is
to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in
the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press
since its founding in 1905.
