This monograph presents an unpublished historical resource in the form of a register of dues collected for the Syriac Orthodox Patriarchate during the second half of the nineteenth century. The original document belongs to the archives of the Church of the Forty Martyrs in Mardin, Turkey, once the headquarters of the Syriac Orthodox Patriarch. Bcheiry provides here the original text, an English translation, and an extensive socio-economic study. In addition, he sheds light on the demographic and geographical realities of nineteenth century Ottoman history, specifically in South East Anatolia.

Collection of Historical Documents in Relation with the Syriac Orthodox Community in the Late Period

In the Ottoman Empire, Syriac communities kept their own baptismal books, marriage, funeral and other records and many of these can be found in various libraries, churches, monasteries in the West and East. The Syriac Garšūnī manuscript found in the Church of the Forty Martyrs in Mardin contains several lists of different subjects that go back to the late period of the Ottoman Empire. These lists, published here for the first time with annotations, are an important historical source for the social, economic, cultural and religious history of the Near East during the 19th century.
