The document is dated 5 Teşrin-i Evvel 1321 (Rumi), corresponding to 18 October 1905 (Gregorian), and reflects both inheritance and land-use transformation within a single property.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"408\" data-end=\"893\"\u003eThe land, totaling 11 dönüms, originally belonged to Oduncu Ali. Following his death, ownership passed to his daughter Emir Ayşe, who formally applied to register the property under her name. The document provides a particularly valuable detail regarding land use: seven dönüms of the property had been converted into a vineyard six years prior, with vine stocks planted and actively cultivated for production, while the remaining four dönüms continued to be used as arable field land.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"895\" data-end=\"1245\"\u003eBased on this established usage, Emir Ayşe requested that the title deed reflect the actual condition of the land, registering 7 dönüms as vineyard and 4 dönüms as field. This request was reviewed and officially approved, demonstrating the Ottoman administration’s recognition of agricultural development and its integration into formal land records.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1247\" data-end=\"1625\"\u003eThe boundaries (hudud) of both the field and vineyard are described in detail in the document. Notably, the presence of non-Muslim names such as Simon and Niko among neighboring property holders provides clear evidence of the mixed population structure of the region. It reflects a rural setting in which Muslim and non-Muslim communities lived and cultivated land side by side.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1627\" data-end=\"1928\"\u003eThe document bears revenue stamps and official seals, confirming its authenticity and administrative validity. Beyond its legal function, it offers a layered insight into inheritance practices, agricultural adaptation, and the multicultural social fabric of western Anatolia in the early 20th century.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1930\" data-end=\"2200\"\u003eFor collectors, this is a particularly engaging piece. It combines inheritance, land conversion, and social context within a single document, making it highly relevant for those interested in İzmir regional history, Ottoman rural economy, and inter-communal coexistence.\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=\"2202\" data-end=\"2264\"\u003e• Type: Ottoman field and vineyard title deed\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2266\" data-end=\"2322\"\u003e• Date: 5 Teşrin-i Evvel 1321 (Rumi) \/ 18 October 1905\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2324\" data-end=\"2369\"\u003e• Location: İzmir, Bayındır, Çıplak Village\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2371\" data-end=\"2400\"\u003e• Language: Ottoman Turkish\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2402\" data-end=\"2459\"\u003e• Property Type: Agricultural land (field and vineyard)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2461\" data-end=\"2486\"\u003e• Total Size: 11 dönüms\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2488\" data-end=\"2545\"\u003e• Land Use Breakdown: 7 dönüms vineyard; 4 dönüms field\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2547\" data-end=\"2577\"\u003e• Original Owner: Oduncu Ali\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2579\" data-end=\"2635\"\u003e• New Owner: Emir Ayşe (daughter, through inheritance)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2637\" data-end=\"2715\"\u003e• Transfer Reason: Inheritance and reclassification based on actual land use\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2717\" data-end=\"2817\"\u003e• Boundaries (Hudud): Detailed; includes neighboring non-Muslim landholders such as Simon and Niko\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2819\" data-end=\"2912\"\u003e• Community Context: Coexistence of Muslim and non-Muslim populations in rural İzmir region\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2914\" data-end=\"2978\"\u003e• Physical Features: Revenue stamps and official seals present\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2980\" data-end=\"3101\"\u003e• Collectible Significance: Valuable for collectors of Ottoman rural life, land use history, and İzmir regional studies\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Turkrex Collectables","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49432499814538,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0716\/3687\/7450\/files\/1_c0fa778e-1403-495d-820b-20b9ba7d699b.jpg?v=1778929870","url":"https:\/\/turkrexcollectables.com\/products\/ottoman-1905-land-deed-field-and-vineyard-in-i%cc%87zmir-title-muslim-and-greek-citizens","provider":"Turkrex Collectables","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
