The paper analyzes the credit activities of the Voskopoja (Moschopolis) guild of tailors on the basis of a new dataset constructed from its credit lending transactions recorded in a guild register. The dataset was used to understand lending patterns and risk management in the local economy of Voskopoja and compare them with similar practices in other parts of the Ottoman empire. I found that interest rates were not stable in 1716–27 and that the Voskopoja economy experienced an economic growth in this period. This case study contributes to our understanding of Ottoman financial institutions, guilds as lending institutions, their business organization, as well as the operations of local credit markets.

本文基于一个新的数据集，该数据集由裁缝制的Voskopoja（Moschopolis）行会的信贷活动构成，该新数据集是根据记录在行会登记册中的信贷交易建立的。该数据集用于了解Voskopoja地方经济中的贷款模式和风险管理，并将其与奥斯曼帝国其他地区的类似做法进行比较。我发现利率在1716至27年间不稳定，并且在这段时期内Voskopoja经济经历了经济增长。此案例研究有助于我们了解奥斯曼金融机构，行会贷款机构，其业务组织以及本地信贷市场的运作。
