Özet:

 In Ottoman law, discovery is an important legal procedure used to reveal evidence in a case, to distinguish between right and wrong and to prevent any future disputes or objections. In the Muhimme books, the court registers and the various document classifications in the Ottoman Archives, there are examples of discoveries on every imaginable issue. Significant work has been done in this area so far. The majority of these studies are focused on the discovery of events such as murder, injury, accidental death, suicide, and drowning. In this study, it has been tried to evaluate the discovery documents in terms of the fact that the discovery procedure is not limited only to the events mentioned, but but also inculdes a wide range from the administrative issues and complaints reaching the state center, the repair and maintenance of castles, pulleys, bridges, waterways, mosques or churches, accounting for foundations, acts that disturb social peace, disputes between individuals of throughout the country. It is possible to consider the sources of the subject in two parts. Archive sources are primary sources. Various documents in the Ottoman Archives and the Istanbul shariah records published by ISAM, the records prepared as a graduate thesis and the mühimme books are our main sources. On the other hand, based on the registers, studies on the discovery of limited events such as forensic cases, murder and injury in some sanjaks were also utilized. Discovery, from the documents we followed, existed from the 16th century to the end of the 18th century, continued in the following centuries and has survived to the present day as an important method of our modern law. In other words, the foundations of todays discovery method exist in the depths of our history.

 Osmanlı hukukunda keşif, bir davada delillerin ortaya çıkarılması, haklı ile haksızın ayırt edilmesi, ileride doğacak herhangi bir ihtilaf veya itirazın önlenmesi için başvurulan önemli hukukî bir usuldür. Mühimme defterleri, şeriyye sicilleri ile Osmanlı Arşivindeki muhtelif belge tasniflerinde akla gelebilecek her hususa dair keşif örnekleri mevcuttur. Şimdiye kadar bu alanda önemli çalışmalar yapılmıştır. Bu çalışmaların büyük çoğunluğu, sicillere yansıyan katl, yaralama, kaza ile ölüm, intihar, boğulma gibi olayların keşfine yöneliktir. Bu çalışmamızda, keşif usulünün sadece zikredilen olaylarla sınırlı olmadığı, idarî bakımdan devlet merkezine ulaşan arz ve şikâyetlerden, ülke genelindeki kale, palanga, köprü, suyolları ile cami veya kiliselerin tamir ve bakımı, vakıfların muhasebesi, toplumsal huzuru bozan eylemler ve kişiler arası çeşitli anlaşmazlıklar gibi konularda da keşif belgeleri değerlendirilmeye çalışılmıştır. Konunun kaynaklarını iki kısımda ele almak mümkündür. Arşiv kaynakları birinci elden kaynaklardır. Osmanlı Arşivindeki muhtelif belgeler ile İSAM tarafından yayımlanan İstanbul kadı sicilleri, akademik çalışmalara konu olmuş siciller ve mühimme defterleri temel kaynaklarımızdır. Öte yandan siciller esas alınarak, bazı sancaklarda adlî vakalar, katl ve yaralama gibi sınırlı olayların keşfine dair çalışmalardan da istifade edilmiştir. Keşif, takip ettiğimiz belgelerden 16. yüzyıldan başlayarak 18. yüzyılın sonlarına kadar var olup sonraki yüzyıllarda da devam etmiş ve modern hukukumuzun önemli bir usulü olarak günümüze kadar gelmiştir. Başka bir ifade ile günümüz keşif usulünün temelleri tarihimizin derinliklerinde mevcuttur.
