    • 2023 May, Murat Can DİLBER, Cemal KARABAŞOĞLU, “Mehterhâne-i Hümâyun'dan Mûzıkâ-yı Hümâyun'a Osmanlı Müzik Kurumlarında Batılılaşma Temâyülü”, in Sinop Üniversitesi Sosyal Bilimler Dergisi, volume 7, number 1, pages 461-478:
      ...mehter kelimesinin 15. yüzyıla kadar mûsikî terimi olduğuna dair bir bilgi bulunmamaktadır. 15. yüzyıla ait kaynaklarda ise bu kelimenin bir mûsikî topluluğunu tanımladığı görülmektedir. Özellikle Fatih Sultan Mehmet döneminde ortaya çıkan çalıcı mehter terimindeki "çalıcı" ifadesi zamanla kullanılmamış ve mehter, tek başına müzik topluluğunu ifade eden bir terim olarak halk diline yerleşmiştir.
      ...until the 15th century no information is found that would suggest that mehter is a musical term. In the sources from the 15th century however, it is seen that this term describes a musical group. The term "çalıcı" (player) in the phrase çalıcı mehter, emerged especially during Mehmed II's reign, fell off use in time and mehter settled in the colloquial use as a term that refers to the band by itself.
  3. The personnel in charge of guarding the sultan’s tent.
