DESCRIPTION:The Ottoman scholar\, kadi and bibliophile ʿAbd al-Raḥmān b. ʿA
 lī b. Muʾayyad\, also known as Müeyyedzade (d. 1516/922)\, was famed for hi
 s library collection which comprised between 2.000 and 7.000 books. Best kn
 own as a kadi and theologian\, he also had a keen interest in the belles le
 ttres and the sciences\, an interest that he cultivated through his wide ne
 twork of scholars which reached from Shiraz\, where he spent a substantial 
 part of his education during the late 1470s and early 1480s\, all the way t
 o Venice and Salamanca. The surviving early sixteenth century inventory of 
 Müeyyedzade’s private library\, together with the known extant copies of th
 e works he once possessed\, shed light not only on the texts that were avai
 lable to Ottoman intellectual circles at the turn of the sixteenth century\
 , but also on the quality and extent of Müeyyedzade’s scholarly network and
  its place in the larger shared intellectual geography of the Aegean\, Adri
 atic\, and wider Mediterranean Seas that constitutes the fertile grounds of
  late Renaissance scholarship – East and West.\n\n\n\nJudith Pfeiffer’s res
 earch focuses on the social\, political\, and intellectual history of the N
 ile to Oxus region with a particular emphasis on early modern Iran\, Centra
 l Asia\, and the Ottoman Empire during the Later Middle and Early Modern Pe
 riods. She has a special interest in the circulation of knowledge\, and the
  ways in which political and confessional boundaries were re-negotiated and
  re-defined during the post-Mongol period. Her publications include History
  and Historiography of Post-Mongol Central Asia and the Middle East (2006\,
  co-edited with Sholeh Quinn) Politics\, Patronage and the Transmission of 
 Knowledge in 13th-15th Century Tabriz (2013)\, and Rashīd al-Dīn’s Bayān al
 -haqāʾiq (2016). After receiving a Ph.D. from the University of Chicago in 
 2003\, she taught Islamic studies and Islamic history at the University of 
 Oxford from 2003 to 2016\, before receiving a call as Alexander von Humbold
 t Professor in Islamic Studies at the University of Bonn in 2016\, where sh
 e directs the Alexander von Humboldt Kolleg for Islamicate Intellectual His
 tory.
