| Summary: | In Ottoman Istanbul, a Muslim woman called Zeyneb Hanım who owned endowed and freehold properties undertook to transfer them in a process known as substitution (istibdāl). This study reveals details about the actor, her motivations, and her properties with their locations, dimensions, boundaries, and income, in addition to the legal processes and conditions of the property substitution through a single Ottoman archival source. A previously unpublished imperial edict (fermān) issued on evāsiṭ-i şaʿbān 1189/ 6–15 October 1775 and unusually preserved within Galata’s Dominican archives is the basis of this study. |
