and played key roles in shaping local identities and solidarities. This solidarity
entailed a particular modus vivendi, plus some sort of collective defense, as
well as various mechanisms of mutual control and surveillance, many of them
designed for regulating and monitoring public morality. In many mahalles
collective social life was real, durable, and strong. In many of them, for
instance, self-appointed bands of youths would act as militias to defend the
mahalle’s “honor” from outside “agressions.” In others, there were, in the
nineteenth century, self-organized amateur “fire-brigades” who took charge
of the extinction of real and of the prevention of potential fires. These young
mens’ brotherhood type of groups (tulumbacı) also took upon themselves the
task of defending the honor and reputation of the locals.

The traditional mahalles of Istanbul were generally very mixed in terms
of wealth, social class, and status. Residential patterns usually ran along lines of ethnicity and religion. However, ethnically and/or religiously mixed mahalles
were not infrequent either. Recent studies have tended to show that even in
the early periods of Ottoman rule, ethnic and religious identities did not
necessarily exhaust the definition of a mahalle. The notion of the absolute
homogeneity of the Islamic or Middle Eastern town quarter regarding its
social composition and the idea that these neighborhoods were exclusively
defined by religious, ethnic, class, or occupational affiliation have also seriously been challenged by recent studies on Ottoman cities, especially in the
empire’s Arab provinces.

Local legend tells us that Kasap ƒlyas was the chief butcher/meat provider to the Ottoman army that conquered Constantinople in 1453 and that
in recognition of his services, the sultan bestowed upon him a large plot of
land. On this plot of land he first built a small mosque bearing his name
and endowed it. Around this local mosque, goes the legend, a whole neighborhood bearing his name then took shape. The elderly inhabitants of
Kasap ƒlyas still recount the many foundation myths concerning Kasap İlyas
and his arrival to the neighborhood, as well as his many exploits, religious
and otherwise. Kasap ƒlyas has grown into a sort of mythical figure and he
has been surrounded by an aura of sanctity by the locals for quite a long
time. His deed of trust (vakfiye) was set down in 149417 and his small shrine
standing in the small graveyard beside his mosque bears the date of 1495
as the date of his passing away. The present-day Kasap İlyas mosque was
almost totally rebuilt after the 1894 earthquake. Of the original structure,
nothing much remains
