Abd al-Rahman al-Bistami (1380-1454) The Origins of Ottoman Historical Consciousness

Prof. Cornell Fleischer
University of Chicago

The Monday Talks series of the Department of Turkish Language and Literatures begins this spring semester with a focus on recent scholarly publications about literary culture. We start with a lecture by Cornell Fleischer, titled “Abd al-Rahman al-Bistami (1380-1454) The Origins of Ottoman Historical Consciousness.” As one of the editors of the two-volume Treasures of Knowledge: An Inventory of the Ottoman Palace Library (1502/3-1503/4), Fleischer will talk on the Ottoman historical consciousness through the multi-faceted character of Abd al-Rahman al-Bistami, as a continuation of the discussion of his introductory article in this volume, titled "Learning and Sovereignty in the Fifteenth and Sixteenth Centuries."

The talk will be in English. Click here to register.
