A mühimme-defterek magyar vonatkozású parancsai III. = Orders in the mühimme-defteris concerning Hungary

A magyarországi hódoltság korának egyik legfontosabb török forrása a szultáni tanácsban megtárgyalt parancsok lényegi részeit tartalmazó mühimme defterik. Ezek számunkra fontos bejegyzéseit sorozat formájában tervezem megjelentetni. Az első kötetet követte a jelen pályázatban kiadott, az előző négy évben feldolgozott, az isztambuli Başbakanlık Osmanlı Arşiviben őrzött két legkorábbi, 1559-1560, illetve 1564-1565-ből származó defter minket érdeklő anyaga. Most az időrendben következő, 1565-1566-ból, illetve 1567-1568-ból való két kéziratot vizsgáltuk át. Az első 703, a második 1016 oldalból áll, s együtt 4700-nál több rendele?tet foglalnak magukba. Ezek közül közel 600-ról derült ki, hogy magyar vonatkozású információkat hordoz. A parancsokról készített regeszták sok tekintetben gazdagítják és árnyalják a korszakról való eddigi ismereteinket, különös tekintettel az 1566. évi hadjárat előkészületeire, majd a nagy hódítások lezárulásával következő békésebb időszakra. | One of the most important sources of the Ottoman rule in Hungary are the mühimme defteris which contain the essential parts of orders discussed in the Sultan's Council. A series is planned to publish the documents in the volumes which deal with Hungarian issues. After the first book, we could now publish the material of the two earliest defters, preserved in the Başbakanlık Osmanlı Arşivi, Istanbul, covering the periods 1559-1560 and 1567-1568. At the same time, the next two manuscripts from 1565-1566 and 1567-1568, respectively, were carefully investigated. The first consists of 703, the second of 1016 pages, with a total of entries exceeding 4700. Almost 600 of the firmans proved to have Hungarian relevance. The excerpts prepared enrich our knowledge mainly in respect of the preparations of the 1566 campaign and the more peaceful period following the great conquests

A life on the Marches: The career of Derviş bey

The life-story of Derviş bey can be reconstructed with unusual accuracy. He came from an influential family, the Yahyapaşazade clan of Albanian origin. His father, Küçük Bali had a house in Jagodina. Derviş must have born around 1500 since he is mentioned as a tmar-holder in the sancak of Zvornik as early as 1519. When his father became the beylerbeyi of Buda in 1542, Derviş was appointed commander of the Danube flotilla, a new post created specifically for him. When Szeged was taken early in 1543, he was elected to be the first district governor there. On 28 January 1545, he was nominated sancakbeyi of Székesfehérvár (İstolni Belgrad). In late 1547 he was sent to administer the liva of Mohács. He held this office for almost 10 years, an exceptionally long period. His many duties can be illustrated by several hitherto unknown orders which were sent to him. At the same time, he did not forget Jagodina where he had a cami built and where – as Hans Dernschwam reported – he also settled some Hungarians. This is shown by a defter of Szendrő (Smederovo), in which several individuals with Hungarian names were registered. On 4 February 1557, he was appointed to Avlonya, partly as a punishment for the unsuccessful siege of Szigetvár in 1556. Four days later, however, he was allowed to return to Szeged. As in Pécs, he was again charged with the preparation of the new cadastral surveys of some of the Hungarian sancaks. Derviş bey vanishes from sight around 1560/1561. In all likelihood he died either in Hungary or on his way to Jagodina

Towns, Villages, Depopulated Settlements — Population Movements In Ottoman Hungary

The demographic history of Hungary is full with question marks, mainly due to the lack of reliable sources until the end of the 18th century. Especially, the number of the population throughout the Ottoman period (1521–1718) constituted a ‘black hole’ for a long period of time and related issues were characterized by a great number of unfounded clichés and prejudices. Identifying the best Turkish and Habsburg archival documents containing more or less detailed data on tax-payers or houses and using estimations for Transylvania where such material is missing, one can establish the total number of the population of the country at the end of the 16th century with considerable accuracy, give details about the ratios of town and village people, characterize the average number of inhabitants in rural settlements and as a whole on one km2, the proportion of depopulated villages, the ethnic composition of certain areas and occasionally even follow migration patterns between the 1540s and 1590. Unfortunately, almost no usable registers were prepared during the 17th century; therefore this time span will always remain a terra incognita, only estimations can be ventured regarding the number of inhabitants around 1700

Validation of a Physical and Numerical Model to Solve Problems of Seepage Flow

The coefficient of permeability (k value) is an important parameter in civil engineering practice, in hydrology and hydrogeology. It can be determined by field test or by means of laboratory testing. The goal of this paper is to assess this parameter by creating a laboratory model and by validating its results using finite element computer code. The model tests provide that can be applied for estimating permeability of different soils. In a physical model medium-grained sand was tested in the laboratory, for understanding the effects of different flow rates on the validation of the measurement result, the numerical simulation of the physical model was constructed using FEFLOW. Two model variants were developed and both variants were calibrated and validated. Subsequently, the results were converted to real variables based on the model laws. The physical model provides the flow rate of the well in medium-grained sand with sufficient accuracy if the real size of the drawdown is between 0,5 and 1,7 m
