The Kazasker, Judge, Jean Baptiste Vanmour, c. 1727 - c. 1730 Canvas Print
The Kadi askeri, one of the two kazasker, the highest military judges. In the Imperial Council there were two kazasker, who together with the Grand Vizier were responsible for the judiciary in the Empire. Originally they accompanied the sultan on his military campaigns and represented the judiciary of the court, one for the European part of the Empire (Rumeli) and the other for the Asian part (Anadolu). In the eighteenth century, their power was already waning considerably. Some of their powers had been taken over by the Grand Vizier and another part by the Seyh ül Islam. However, due to their beautiful large turban and the fur-trimmed caftans, they remained an impressive appearance.
