In Formation of a Religious Landscape: Shi'i Higher Learning in
Safavid Iran, Maryam Moazzen offers the first systematic
examination of Shi'i educational institution and practices by
exploring the ways in which religious knowledge was produced,
authenticated, and transmitted in the second half of Safavid rule
(1588-1722). By analyzing the deeds of endowment of the Madrasa-yi
Sult a ni and other mosque-madrasas built by the Safavid elite,
this study sheds light on the organizing mechanisms and structures
utilized by such educational foundations. Based on the large number
of ijaza s and other primary sources including waqfiyyas,
biographical dictionaries and autobiographies, this study also
reconstructs the Safavid madrasas' curriculum and describes the
pedagogical methods used to transmit religious knowledge as well as
issues that faced Shi'i higher learning in early modern times.
