Özet
Bugün yurtdışında araştırılmayı bekleyen pek çok osmanlıca el yazması bulunmaktadır. Berlin Staatsbibliothek Orientabteilung, Ms.or.quart. 1209 numarada kayıtlı ve tek nüsha olan, hazine-i birûn kâtibi Ahmed bin Mahmud tarafından tutulduğu anlaşılan mecmûa da bunlardan bir tanesidir. Gerek bu elyazması ve gerekse yazarı Ahmed b. Mahmud Osmanlı tarihi araştırıcıları tarafından oldukça az tanınmaktadır. Oysa ki, Ahmed b. Mahmud Osmanlı Devleti'nin XVIII. Yüzyıl siyasi, sosyal ve ekonomik değişimlerine tanıklık etmiş ve bunları kaydetmiş bir kişidir. Dolayısıyla eseri bu dönem Osmanlı Devleti tarihi araştırıcıları için başvurulması gereken birinci el kaynaktır. Nitekim mecmûanın özellikle yaklaşık 150 varaklık kısmı 1711-1759 seneleri arasında devletin içinde cereyan eden olayları kapsayan önemli bir vakayinâmedir. Ahmed b. Mahmud devletin resmi tarihçisi olmadığı için vakayinâmesine kendi düşüncelerini rahatça aktarabilmiş, bu yönü ile çağdaşı vakanüvistçilerden ayrılmıştır. Bu çalışmada ilk defa Ahmed bin Mahmud'un -bizzat kendi el yazmasından yola çıkılarak ve ikinci el kaynaklardaki bilgiler değerlendirilerek- hayatına ve eserine ilişkin toplu bir bakış açısı getirilmeye çalışılmıştır.
There remain a very large number of hand-written Ottoman manuscripts outside of Turkey that are awaiting investigation. One of these is a single copy of a manuscript, today in the collection of the Berlin Staatsbibliolthek Orientabtilung (Ms.or.quart 1209), that was written by Ahmed Bin Mahmud, a clerk at the hazine-i birun (Public Treasury). Very little is known about either this manuscript or about its writer, Ahmed b. Mahmud, a researcher of Ottoman history. Actually, Ahmed b. Mahmud was both a witness and a recorder of the political, social, and economic changes that were occurring in the Ottoman Empire of the 18th century. For this reason, this record represents a primary resource for those who are researching the history of the Ottoman State during this time period. The almost 150 page portion of the manuscript that is devoted to the events occurring within the state during the years spanning 1711-1759 represents a very significant chronicle. Because Ahmed b. Mahmud was not an offıcial state historian he was able to impart his own ideas into the chronicle and in this respect this manuscript becomes quite different from other contemporary chronicles. In this work, for the first time Ahmed bin Mahmud ventures off part of an endeavor to bring a more general perspective to his life and his work.
