Christians in the Ottoman Archives in the States of Mosul and Egypt1839-1861
Abstract
The Ottoman Archive, represented by the Prime Minister, is an important source for studying the history of the components of Ottoman society, as it provides important information about the nature of their social and religious conditions. Hence, we aim in our study to show the nature of the existing relations between the Ottoman Empire as a ruler and between the Christians in the states of Mosul and Egypt as Their subjects for the period 1839-1861, due to the close relation that unites the Christian sects between the two states.The importance of the study comes from the fact that it is based on the documents of the Ottoman archives preserved in Istanbul, and it shows us the nature of the existing relations between them, especially after the issuance of charitable organizations in which Christians expressed their deep gratitude to the Ottoman Sultan, rather than the desire of the Ottoman Empire to implement this on the ground away from European interventions This desire is documented by the documents used in the study
