The TDV İslâm Ansiklopedisi entry on the Ottoman imperial ministry of waqfs. It describes the ministry Mahmud II set up in 1826 to gather the waqfs of the sultans and their households under one administration, distinguishes the trustee's management (tevliyet) from the nazir's supervision (nezaret), and follows the Haremeyn inspectorate and the earlier waqf offices, what was later joined to the ministry, its central and provincial machinery, and the fate of waqf revenue down to the abolition of the Şer'iyye ve Evkaf ministry on 3 March 1924.
