Wealth and poverty among rural communities in the province of Rumelia, 17th—18th centuries: Historical and documentary study
Богатство и бедност сред селските общности в провинция Румелия през XVII—XVIII век
Language: Bulgarian with a summary in English
Category: Ottoman Period
The monograph offers a study on the world of the peasants who lived in the Ottoman province of Rumelia during the 17th—18th centuries. Images of various property and professional groups among the rural population are presented. Sometimes the sources are so generous that they allow to restore not only the property status of the peasants — men and women, Christians and Muslims, but also to trace moments from their personal stories.
