While the district name is difficult to read due to the nature of the handwriting, the village is clearly identified as Karabey Çardaklar, a settlement historically associated with Edremit. Written in Ottoman Turkish and bearing an official seal, the document represents an early example of provincial land registration in the mid-19th century.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"623\" data-end=\"948\"\u003eThe property is recorded as a field (tarla) measuring 4 dönüm. Its boundaries are described using neighboring landholders, including Ali, Köçek Ali, and Yemik oğlu Halil. This method of defining land through adjacent ownership reflects standard Ottoman cadastral practices and provides insight into the local rural landscape.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"950\" data-end=\"1205\"\u003eThe deed was issued “tebdilen,” meaning it is a reissued or replacement document. This typically indicates that the original deed may have been lost, damaged, or required renewal, illustrating administrative continuity in the Ottoman land registry system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1207\" data-end=\"1511\"\u003eThe registered owner is Hanife binti Kilci oğlu Mustafa, making this document particularly notable as it records property ownership by a Muslim woman. Such records offer valuable evidence of women’s legal rights to own and manage property within the Ottoman legal framework, especially in rural settings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1513\" data-end=\"1793\"\u003eWith its early date, clear ownership record, and official seal, this deed is both a legal document and a historical artifact. It sheds light on landholding practices, inheritance or re-registration processes, and the role of women in property ownership in the Ottoman countryside.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1001\" data-end=\"1020\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(170, 26, 23);\"\u003eKey Features:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1795\" data-end=\"1864\"\u003e• Type: Ottoman agricultural title deed (field deed)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1866\" data-end=\"1903\"\u003e• Date: 3 Safer 1283 (17 June 1866)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1905\" data-end=\"1985\"\u003e• Location: Karesi Sanjak, likely Edremit district – Karabey Çardaklar village\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1987\" data-end=\"2019\"\u003e• Property Type: Field (tarla)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2021\" data-end=\"2047\"\u003e• Property Size: 4 dönüm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2049\" data-end=\"2101\"\u003e• Boundaries: Ali, Köçek Ali, and Yemik oğlu Halil\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2103\" data-end=\"2145\"\u003e• Owner: Hanife binti Kilci oğlu Mustafa\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2147\" data-end=\"2192\"\u003e• Transfer Reason: Reissued deed (tebdilen)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2194\" data-end=\"2328\"\u003e• Historical Significance: Early example of Ottoman rural land ownership, including documentation of a Muslim female property holder\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2330\" data-end=\"2374\"\u003e• Physical Features: Official seal present\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2376\" data-end=\"2480\"\u003e• Collectible Significance: Rare mid-19th century provincial deed with strong social and legal context\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Turkrex Collectables","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49422966718602,"sku":null,"price":100.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0716\/3687\/7450\/files\/1_52bacc42-4bb7-43cd-b248-446c727324f6.jpg?v=1778780718","url":"https:\/\/turkrexcollectables.com\/products\/ottoman-1866-land-deed-field-in-karesi-sanjak-edremit-title-muslim-woman","provider":"Turkrex Collectables","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
