It was necessary to carry out more than one and sometimes independent preparations to be
successful in a campaign. Providing the adequate finance was one of the key requirements to conduct this
organization flawlessly and properly during the campaign. The most important sources about the campaign

ruznamçes and icmals that are campaign budgets obtained by using these records. In this context this
study focuses on two main points. Firstly, it aims to introduce and explain the physical specifications of
campaign ruznamçes (and budgets) by comparing and contratsing them with similar sources. Secondly,
this study aims to clarify the content of the campaign ruznamçes (and icmal or budgets)regarding a cer-tain campaign treasure. Eventually, in addition to the clarified content, some explanations regarding the
importance these sources in terms of Ottman military-financial history will be made and thus thesource
value of campaign ruznamçe registers will be indicated. |
