dc.description.abstractMetin Coşgel and Boğaç Ergene’s The Economics of Ottoman Justice: Settlement and Trial in the Sharia Courts investigates legal practice and temporal changes in court functions and in the legal interactions among varied gender, religious, and socioeconomic groups in the late seventeenth- and the eighteenth-century Ottoman Empire. This work provides a new analytical framework by employing a sophisticated quantitative approach to the Ottoman court records (sicils) of the provincial town of Kastamonu, located in north-central Anatolia. As a rare example of collaborative and multidisciplinary work in the field of Ottoman legal history, particularly the combination of law and economics in engagement with anthropological literature, the book successfully opens new methodological paths for Ottomanists. The authors challenge earlier quantitative research on Ottoman court records by incorporating into their analysis the tools and insights of the discipline of economics. As such, this work provides a quantitative answer to the key methodological question of how to study Ottoman court records, which has been a major concern in Ottoman historiography since the 1960s. The authors argue that systematic and quantitative analysis of court records provides verifiable data that demonstrates who went to courts, how often, and for what purpose, as well as helping to define the main parameters affecting the litigation and trial processes.en_US
