Brill has
published a book on law in the Crimean Khanate.
ABOUT THE BOOK
The Crimean
Khanate was often treated as a semi-nomadic, watered-down version of the Golden
Horde, or yet another vassal state of the Ottoman Empire. This book revises these
views by exploring the Khanate’s political and legal systems, which combined
well organized and well developed institutions, which were rooted in different
traditions (Golden Horde, Islamic and Ottoman). Drawing on a wide range of
sources, including the Crimean court registers from the reign of Murad Giray
(1678-1683), the book examines the role of the khan, members of his council and
other officials in the Crimean political and judicial systems as well as the
practice of the Crimean sharia court during the reign of Murad Giray.
