Series: - Islamicate Intellectual History, Volume: 1
Author:
In The Cosmic Perils of Qadi Ḥusayn MaybudÄ« in Fifteenth-Century Iran Alexandra Dunietz explores the life and works of a provincial judge during a time of tribal rivalries and millennial expectations. During the decades preceding the rise of the Safavid regime and the establishment of ShiÊ¿ism throughout Iran, MaybudÄ« participated in a network of intellectuals, administrators, and mystics, wrote prolifically, and worked as a judge within the Ak Koyunlu sphere. Drawing upon MaybudÄ«âs commentaries and correspondence, the work focuses on the judgeâs education, complex commentary on the poetry of Ê¿AlÄ«, the foundational figure of ShiÊ¿ism, his professional life, and his death during a rebellion against Safavid control of his hometown. MaybudÄ« exemplified the natural development of relations between Sunnis and Shiis, provincial elites and central authorities, rationalist philosophers and devotees of the esoteric.
Alexandra W. Dunietz, Ph.D. (1990), University of Chicago, is an independent scholar who specializes in the pre-modern Islamicate world.
