%X ¨¤ partir d¡¯un proc¨¨s, aux enjeux et aux formes juridiquement remarquables, qui s¡¯est d¨¦roul¨¦ dans la ville d¡¯Adana en 1700, cet article met au jour et analyse un cas d¡¯imposture au centre duquel se trouve pos¨¦ un ensemble de questions relatives aux modalit¨¦s d¡¯identification d¡¯une personne, de reconnaissance et de recouvrement de son identit¨¦. ¨¤ partir d¡¯un cas singulier, l¡¯auteur observe les conditions pouvant mener ¨¤ la perte de son identit¨¦ nominale et de ses statuts initiaux (le passage notamment au statut d¡¯esclave) ou inversement les ressources sollicit¨¦es pour prouver qui l¡¯on est. Les silences et les points obscurs dans l¡¯¨¦nonc¨¦ du proc¨¨s comme dans la nature du verdict sugg¨¨rent que, dans l¡¯usage qu¡¯ils font de l¡¯institution judiciaire, les protagonistes sont mus par des intentions plus complexes que ce que permet de restituer l¡¯acte consign¨¦ dans le registre du tribunal. This article uncovers a case which took place in the city of Adana in 1700. The author analyses from trial proceedings, the stakes and legal forms of which are remarkable, a case of deception: at the center of the plot, a set of issues is revealed, concerning personal identity and the recognition and recovery of one's identity. From a singular case, the author observes the conditions which lead to the loss of one¡¯s nominal identity and original status (including the transition to slave status) or conversely, the means required to prove one's identity. The omissions and obscure points of the trial brief just as the nature of the verdict itself suggest that in their use of the judicial institution, the protagonists are motivated by intentions more complex than it appears in the court record.
