Administrative Structure of the Bosnia by the Bosnia Annual That First Annual of Province Date of 1283 (1866-1867)

Summary/Abstract: The words ‘salname’ (or ‘nevsal’), which in Turkish means annual or yearbook, derives from the in Persian ‘sal’ and ‘name’, meaning ‘year’ and ‘letter’. Annuals are usually divided into two categories, public and private. Public annual usually pertain to the state, province, and ministry. The first Ottoman State annual was published in 1847, and continued to be published until 1922. The first Ottoman provincial annual was published in Bosnia in 1283 (1866-67 CE), followed by those in Aleppo (1284 AH), Konya (1285 AH), Syria (1285 AH), and Danube (1285 AH). The last annual to be published within the Ottoman state appeared in Beirut between 1333 and 1335 AH (1915- 1917 CE), and Bolu between 1337 and 1338 AH (1921 - 1922 CE). Ministry or official annuls were published between 1282 and 1326 AH (1865 - 1908 CE). Those published by a number of private institutions and individuals in the Ottoman State also fall into a group of special yearbooks. The first of these was titled “Turkey”, and published by Ali Suavi in Paris 1288 AH (1871 CE). Those featuring the dates of specific events furthermore offer researchers a wide range of knowledge about the economic, political, military, and administrative structure of the Ottoman State generally, provincially, and privately. This paper focuses on the administrative structures of Bosnia according to one Bosnian-Ottoman annual written in 1283 AH (1866-67 CE).
