This book is the first sustained effort at investigating the intellectual currents among Ottoman and North African scholars of the early modern period and 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.
Part I. 'The Path of the Kurdish and Persian Verifying Scholars': 1. Kurdish scholars and the reinvigoration of the rational sciences; 2. A discourse of method: the evolution of adab al-bahth; 3. The rise of 'deep reading'; Part II. 'Saving Servants from the Yoke of Imitation': 4. Maghrebi 'theologian-logicians' in Egypt and the Hejaz; 5. The condemnation of 'imitation' (taqlid); 6. Al-Hasan al-Yusi and two theological controversies in seventeenth-century Morocco; Part III. 'The Imams of Those Who Proclaim the Unity of Existence': 7. The spread of mystical monism; 8. Monist mystics and neo-Hanbali traditionalism; 9. In defense of wahdat al-wujud.
