This book is compiled and published to interest readers in the deed of trust concerning water supply to the city of Istanbul [Constantinople - Kostantiniyye] -known as Kagithane waters- made by Sultan Suleyman theMagnificent -the greatest philanthropist ever and a man peerless in magnanimity. There have been innumerable such water supply projects large and ssmall for which deeds of trust were penned -as part pf a collection or in an overall charity. But Sultan Suleiman was the first and the only person to found a work of charity for the sole purpose of supplying his capital with". clean, pure, healthy and sweet fresh waters". Amongst host of other deeds of trust that allocate revenues for the maintenance, repair and restoration of water works, public fountains, Turkish baths etc. that of Sultan Suleiman's philanthropy, allocation ad infinitum of revenues of a sizeable township and five villages with most extensive lands, is unique. This man of greatest magnanimity laid down conditions to keep the water supply system in good working order. Parts of revenues and incomes from his other pious foundations were to be used should revenues from this township and five villages prove insufficient. A careful study of this book will display the most exalted consciousness of this truly great sovereign in matters related to man's destiny.
