Abstract
Bu tez, I. Selim tahta çıktıktan sonra kendisine sunulan arz ve arzuhalleri konu edinmektedir. İlgili belgeler Topkapı Sarayı Müzesi Arşivi’nde muhafaza edilmekte ve belgelerin dijital görüntüleri Cumhurbaşkanlığı Devlet Arşivleri Başkanlığı Osmanlı Arşivi’nde araştırmacıların hizmetine sunulmaktadır. Bu tez çalışmasının temel hedefi, I. Selim’e sunulan arz ve arzuhalleri literatüre kazandırmak ve ilgili belgeler üzerinden Selim’e taht mücadelesinde destek verenlerin kimliklerine açıklık getirmektir. I. Selim’in taht mücadelesi anlatıldıktan sonra belgeler üzerinden I. Selim’in destekçileri tespit edilmeye çalışılmış ve belgelerin transkripsiyonlarına yer verilmiştir. Söz konusu belgeler, babasını tahttan indirmek suretiyle tahta çıkan I. Selim’in taht mücadelesinin safhalarına ve bu safhalarda kendisine destek verenlere dair önemli bilgiler sunmaktadır. Bu belgeler sayesinde Selim’in, Trabzon’dan, Kefe’den, Kili’den, Eski Zağra’dan ve Tekeili’nden olmak üzere farklı yerlerden muhtelit bir destekçi kitlesi olduğu ortaya konulmuştur. Yine belgeler üzerinden Şehzade Şehinşah’ın kullarının da Selim’e destek verdikleri ve hatta II. Bâyezid’in kulu olan kimsenin de Selim’in safında yer aldığı tespit edilmiştir.
