A friend of mine got some official papers from his grandfather in Ottoman turkish and can't translate them by himself. Is there a historian that knows what they are about?

Hi guys!

I'm living in Austria and a friend of mine who's grandparents where from Turkey has found these documents. He has no clue what they are about and as I saw people translating for example Sütterlin or other historical documents in German I was wondering if here is a historian with the time to translate these papers maybe?

The first picture looks like a certificate and the second one are probably notes from his grandfather, which he found with the certificate.

It looks like the top picture is an official document in Arabic script, and the bottom one is its translation or transliteration.

If this guess is correct, the document is a title for a piece of land according to the words in the top left corner. At the bottom there is a date, of which I can only make out the year: 1287 in the Islamic calendar (1870 CE).
