Talk:Ottoman Land Code of 1858

Only Syria

This article (as well as the source) seems to be concentrated to Ottoman dominated Syria and Philistine rather than the whole empire. Moving the article to Ottoman Land Code of 1858 in Syria may be considered. Nedim Ardoğa (talk) 07:17, 31 January 2011 (UTC)

Hi Nedim, thanks for your comment. The text of the original law is here - it seems to be empire-wide. I agree though that most of the english sources focus on the syrian vilayet because that appears to be where most of the modern reverberations are. Are you able to search for anything further on this in turkish? Also if you have time we are having another debate on another page where someone who is able to read turkish sources would be very helpful here Talk:Time_periods_in_the_region_of_the_Palestine#Ardh-u_Filistin!

"Musha" land

Was "Musha" land classified under no. 2, or no 4? I came across it here:

Schaebler, Birgit (2000). "Practicing Musha′: Common Lands and the Common Good in Southern Syria under the Ottomans and the French". In Owen, Roger (ed.). New Perspectives on Property and Land in the Middle East. Center of Middle Eastern Studies of Harvard University. p. 279.

Palestine "stole" the article. Separate!

The empire was huge in 1858, dozens of nation states inherited the Land Code and kept it or not. Because of the obsessive Israel-Palestine issue, this article too gets kidnapped by it. It's a major topic in I/P, and it deserves its own article, with links to this in order to avoid repetitions, but separate from this. Why should Cypriots, Albanians, Macedonians, Syrians, Lybians, etc. who come here be bothered with the Neverending Story 3 aka I/P? Arminden (talk) 18:19, 3 June 2021 (UTC)
