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

在本研究项目中，伊斯兰教的宗教捐赠机构WAQF机构已经被追寻了三年。主要结果如下：(1)在伊斯坦布尔和柏林的图书馆和档案馆的调查中，成功地发现了研究法特瓦、伊斯兰法律解释，特别是研究16世纪伊斯坦布尔伊斯兰酋长埃芬迪的法特瓦的必要材料。可以肯定的是，它们将使我们能够展示关于WAQF系统的法律制度的变化。(2)1496年编制的Aya Sofya WAQF登记册的关键文本(被归类为土耳其奥斯曼帝国Arichives的Maliyeden MuDevver目录第19号)已基本完成。这是研究伊斯兰宗教基金如何在伊斯坦布尔重建中被利用的最重要的历史来源。(3)作为这项研究的成果，编写了一篇论文《Fatih Vakfiyelerinin Tamim Sureci Uzerine》，并向土耳其历史学会的期刊《Belleten》投稿，该期刊是土耳其历史领域最权威的期刊。它已被匿名评委接受，并将于2008年4月在第263期上发表。
