The religio-legal opinions (fetva) of scholars and decrees of sultans (kanun) were two main media for the articulation of legal norms in the Ottoman Empire. In addition to scholars and sultans, diverse groups like local actors with entrenched interests, non-Muslim communities, common people, founders of endowments, guilds and merchants participated and interacted in the formation of legal norms in different degrees and ways. The EU-funded project, OTTOLEGAL, examines the lawmaking process in the Empire between 1450 and 1650 on the basis of a new perspective. The project aspires to develop a model of lawmaking that will account for diversity and change across time and space in early-modern societies.
