Abstract
A mobile professional and familial network of ShiÊ¿i Muslim naturalists emerged from KaÌrkiyaÌâiÌ Gilan and served royal courts across much of the Persianate world during the 16th and into the 17th centuries. While its members have been known in different historiographic contexts, they have not been studied together as a unique inter-Asian society that endured according to intrinsic logics cultivated at its point of origin and numerous trans-regional homes. Mapping this network, I argue that they promoted their own kind by whetting the appetites of Persianate courts hungry for specialists to strengthen sovereignty through the universalizing power of ḥikmat, comprised of interrelated theoretical and practical sciences that the Gilanis mastered. Their endurance not only calls into question scales of analysis that amalgamate migrant networks as âIranians,â âPersianate elites,â or âforeigners,â which overlook such ties, but it demonstrates how shared origins superseded sectarian identity in the maintenance of such networks across time and space.

âGilanis on the Moveâ: Mapping an Inter-Asian Society of ShiÊ¿i Muslim Naturalists

Abstract
A mobile professional and familial network of ShiÊ¿i Muslim naturalists emerged from KaÌrkiyaÌâiÌ Gilan and served royal courts across much of the Persianate world during the 16th and into the 17th centuries. While its members have been known in different historiographic contexts, they have not been studied together as a unique inter-Asian society that endured according to intrinsic logics cultivated at its point of origin and numerous trans-regional homes. Mapping this network, I argue that they promoted their own kind by whetting the appetites of Persianate courts hungry for specialists to strengthen sovereignty through the universalizing power of ḥikmat, comprised of interrelated theoretical and practical sciences that the Gilanis mastered. Their endurance not only calls into question scales of analysis that amalgamate migrant networks as âIranians,â âPersianate elites,â or âforeigners,â which overlook such ties, but it demonstrates how shared origins superseded sectarian identity in the maintenance of such networks across time and space.
