Epilogue. 330 $aBy focusing on the works and intellectual network of the Timurid historian Sharaf al Di?n 'Ali? Yazdi? (d.1454), this book presents a holistic view of intellectual life in fifteenth century Iran. I?lker Evrim Binbas? argues that the intellectuals in this period formed informal networks which transcended political and linguistic boundaries, and spanned an area from the western fringes of the Ottoman State to bustling late medieval metropolises such as Cairo, Shiraz, and Samarkand. The network included an Ottoman revolutionary, a Mamluk prophet, and a Timurid occultist, as well as physicians, astronomers, devotees of the secret sciences, and those political figures who believed that the network was a force to be taken seriously. Also discussing the formation of an early modern Islamicate republic of letters, this book offers fresh insights on the study of intellectual history beyond the limitations imposed by nationalist methodologies, established genres, and recognized literary traditions. 410 0$aCambridge studies in Islamic civilization. 606 $aMuslims$xIntellectual life 607 $aIran$xIntellectual life 615 0$aMuslims$xIntellectual life. 676 $a181/.5 700 $aBinbas?$b I?lker Evrim$01074789 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910136755903321 996 $aIntellectual networks in Timurid Iran$92581863 997 $aUNINA
