Notes	Two critical changes are remarkable in Ottoman criminal law after the proclamation of the Tanzimat Edict in 1839. The first of these is the codification studies that started with the Penal Code of 1840 (followed by the 1851 and 1858 Penal Codes). The second is the formation of a new criminal jurisdiction system, which gradually extends from the periphery to the center. Penal Code-defined criminal cases started to be heard in the councils established in the periphery, separate from sharia courts. (Thus, this new criminal jurisdiction system formed the basis for the Nizamiye courts, established in 1864.) These critical changes in the area of criminal law have brought many changes in detail. One such change is the criminal journals, in which names of offenders, their crimes, and the punishments determined by the councils where the criminal case is heard were written in paragraphs. This study focuses on the historical process and the structural features of criminal journals, initially written after the Tanzimat (by the councils), and their function in criminal law, having experienced crucial changes. Different methods will be tried, such as understanding the significant changes experienced in Ottoman criminal law in this period, starting with the criminal journals, which are a limited element of the change experienced in the post-1840 period.
