Description

Explore the intellectual world of Ahad al-Damanhuri through this scholarly study from Routledge. As the rector (shaykh) of al-Azhar starting in 1768, al-Damanhuri held one of the most respected positions in the Ottoman Empire. While he was a prolific author, much of his work remains largely unstudied by modern historians. This book provides a deep look into the diverse intellectual background of al-Damanhuri and his contemporaries. It builds upon existing scholarship regarding the academic thought of the late Ottoman Empire, specifically focusing on his work regarding anatomy and religious cultures. By examining the relationship between medicine and religion, this text offers new insights into the early modern world and the scholarly traditions of the time. It is an essential resource for those researching Ottoman history, religious studies, or the history of science.
