Text of Note

This study analyses the expenditures made during Sultan Murat IV's (1623-1640) Bagdad campaign. Bagdad was under the rule of the Safevi state during that period. The Ottomans lost Bagdad as a result of Bekir Subaşı's revolt. Sultan Murat's Bagdad campaign started on April 8, 1638 and lasted 191 days. There are a lot of documents concerning the campaign in the Ottoman archives in Istanbul. Data in the register of expenditures number 169 were evaluated in this study. It is known that during such campaigns the taxpaying population had to deliver food to the Ottoman army in the form of nüzül and sürsat. Among these, barley, flour, bread, peksimet, butter, and honey take the first place. They cost 2,824,523 akçe in 1638, this being only a part of all expenditures.
