Hammer, Staatsverfassung, 10; D’Ohsson, i. 22-24. The Multeka is the basis of D’Ohsson’s excellent work, which consists of a translation of the code with its comments, to which he has added observations of great value based on historical studies and on his own investigations during many years’ residence in Turkey. Heidborn, 44-69, gives a detailed account of the development of the Sacred Law. He also (pp. 85-89) describes the Multeka and gives a table of its contents.
