A fascinating example of how the division of the Qur’an into separate volumes can reflect patterns of ritual reading: in Somalia, the mushaf is often divided into seven manzil, each corresponding to a day of the week, beginning with Friday.

My new book has just been released. The book explores the intellectual landscape of the 12th/18th Ottoman Empire through the prism of Fatḥ Allāh Ibn al-Ṣabbāgh (d. 1162/1749), an émigré scholar from Mosul who ultimately settled in the east-central Anatolian town of Darende.
📢 صدر حديثا.. 📘 فتح الله الموصلي، نزيل دارنده سيرة عالم عثماني من خلال مخطوطاته ————————————————— يحيى رعد حيدر Fatḥ Allāh al-Mawṣilī: Nazīl Dāranda Sīrat ʿĀlim ʿUṯmānī min Khilāl Makhtūṭātih ————————————————————— Yahya Raad Haidar 📌يقدم هذا الكتاب دراسة تاريخية توثيقية لشخصية الشيخ فتح الله الموصلي (ت 1162هـ/1749م)، وهو أحد علماء الموصل في القرن الثاني عشر للهجرة، اعتماداً أساساً على تراثه الخطي الذي جرى التعرف عليه حديثاً، والاستناد إلى المصادر التاريخية المتوفرة. ويعرض الكتاب تحليلاً مفصلاً لنتاجه العلمي والأدبي، ومواقفه الفقهية والفكرية، واهتماماته الدينية وذلك في سياقاتها الزمنية والجغرافية. ويندرج هذا العمل ضمن دراسات تاريخ الفكر العثماني، متجاوزاً إطار السيرة الفردية إلى بحث أنماط الحياة العلمية، وإنتاج المعرفة، واستمرارية التقاليد الفكرية في الولايات الشرقية للدولة العثمانية. ومن خلال دراسة حالة فتح الله الموصلي، يتناول الكتاب حركة تداول النصوص، والشبكات العلمية، والممارسات المعرفية التي ربطت العراق بشرق ووسط الأناضول خلال العصر العثماني المتأخر. This book presents a documented historical study of Shaykh Fatḥ Allāh al-Mawṣilī (d. 1162/1749), one of the leading scholars of Mosul in the twelfth century AH. The study is based primarily on his manuscript legacy, which has only recently been identified, together with the available historical sources. The book offers a detailed analysis of his scholarly and literary output, his juridical and intellectual positions, and his religious interests, situating them within their broader chronological and geographical contexts. This work forms part of the broader field of Ottoman intellectual history. Moving beyond the confines of an individual biography, it explores patterns of scholarly life, the production of knowledge, and the continuity of intellectual traditions in the eastern provinces of the Ottoman Empire. Through the case study of Fatḥ Allāh al-Mawṣilī, the book examines the circulation of texts, scholarly networks, and epistemic practices that connected Iraq with eastern and central Anatolia during the late Ottoman period. ——————————————————— فتح الله الموصلي، نزيل دارنده سيرة عالم عثماني من خلال مخطوطاته يحيى رعد حيدر(@YRHaidar) ——————————————————— تحرير: آيشنور ألبر (@alper__aysenur) ——————————————————— ➡️ دار نشر جامعة ابن خلدون (@ihuyayin)

(Kitap) yazmak iddia sahibi olmak demektir ve sizi hedef tahtasına oturtur. İbnü’l-Mukaffa‘ şöyle diyor: “Men sannefe fekadi’stehdefe.” Yani: “Eser yazan hücuma muhatap olur.”

brill.com/display/title/7441… :: the book is officially out. Visual appendix : doi.org/10.6084/m9.figshare.… In short, this book asks: What does it mean for our field when the entire library becomes a vademecum—something that, quite literally, "goes with me" everywhere?
