For much of the twentieth century, the intellectual life of the
Ottoman and Arabic-Islamic world in the seventeenth century was
ignored or mischaracterized by historians. Ottomanists typically
saw the seventeenth century as marking the end of Ottoman cultural
florescence, while modern Arab nationalist historians tended to see
it as yet another century of intellectual darkness under Ottoman
rule. This book is the first sustained effort at investigating some
of the intellectual currents among Ottoman and North African
scholars of the early modern period. Examining the intellectual
production of the ranks of learned ulema (scholars) through close
readings of various treatises, commentaries, and marginalia, Khaled
El-Rouayheb argues for a more textured - and text-centered -
understanding of the vibrant exchange of ideas and transmission of
knowledge across a vast expanse of Ottoman-controlled territory.
