Waqf Institution in History : The Case of Ayasofya Waqf in Instanbul

在这个研究项目中，Waqf机构，伊斯兰教的宗教捐赠机构，已经进行了三年的研究。主要成果如下：(1)通过对伊斯坦布尔和柏林图书馆和档案馆的调查，成功地找到了研究伊斯兰教法特瓦（Fatwa），特别是研究16世纪伊斯坦布尔伊斯兰教法特瓦（Fatwas）的必要材料。可以肯定的是，它们将使我们能够展示有关waqf制度的法律制度的变化。(2) 1496年编纂的《阿亚·索非亚waqf登记簿》关键文本（归类于土耳其奥斯曼档案马里耶登·穆德弗目录第19号）已基本完成。这是研究瓦克夫制度如何在伊斯坦布尔重建中被利用的最重要的历史资料。该出版物的筹备工作仍在继续。(3)这项研究的结果是撰写了一篇论文“Fatih Vakfiyelerinin Tanzim Sureci Uzerine”，并将其发表在土耳其历史领域最权威的期刊——土耳其历史学会（Belleten）期刊上。这篇论文已被匿名评委接受，并将在2008年4月的第263期上发表。
