Abstract

The main purpose of the article is to describe and analyze the stylistic and structural features of Crimean legal documents, which were written in the period of XVII–XVIII centuries. At this time, the courts of the Ottoman Empire began to a the Turkic language, which remained, however, a significant percentage of the Arabic words and phrases. Most of these words have been borrowed terms expressing various concepts of Sharia and Islamic jurisprudence – fiqh. But for the initial stage of transition to a system modeled on the Ottoman courts, there were much more Arabic words, and even most of the documents were written exclusively in Arabic. Turkization of office work in Crimea comes some later, by the end of the XVIth century – beginning of the XVIIth. Exactly to this period the legal books that are explored in this publication belong. The main attention is paid to the types of documents that were given at the time by Sharia courts and their main features. The internal structure of these documents is described in detail, as well as their counterparts, while registration records compiled into a single book – sakk. The article contains samples of these documents transliterated from Arabic script and translated into Russian and taken for the illustrative material.
