Abstract
The Ottoman Empire was politically a decentralized region, where the central government, the administrative machinery, as well as tribal chieftains, military officers and army contingents, kept their existence on the economic wealth of the population, especially on the non-moslem and non-Turkic elements.
To extort and rob what usually the guiavur (the Christians in the Ottoman Empire) produced and earned through tilling the ground or through commerce, the Ottoman administration published annually documents - Kanunnames - according to which taxes were farmed to such an extent that the people had to pay even their livelyhood.
The author of these few pages discusses at length a few of the many taxes levied both by the central government and tribal authorities, making extensive use of the Ottoman Kanunnames published in Turkish, French and Armenian.
