Emerging from the Copernican Eclipse: The Mathematical and Astronomical Sciences in Müʾeyyedzade ʿAbdurrahman Efendi’s Private Library (fl. ca. 1480-1516)

The Ottoman scholar, kadi and bibliophile ʿAbd al-Raḥmān b. ʿAlī b. Muʾayyad, also known as Müʾeyyedzade (d. 1516/922), wasfamed for hislibrary collection which comprised between 2.000 and 7.000 books. Best known as a kadi and theologian, he apparently also had a special interest in the sciences, in particular astronomy and mathematics. A substantial and formative part of Müʾeyyedzade’s education took place during his extended sojourn in Shiraz during the late 1470s and early 1480s, in the vicinity of such luminaries as Jalāl al-Dīn Dawānī, Ṣadr al-Dīn and Ghiyāth al-Dīn Dashtakī, Mīr Ḥusayn Maybudī and possibly the young Shams al-Dīn Khafrī. The surviving early sixteenth century inventory of Müʾeyyedzade’s library sheds light on the texts that were available to Ottoman intellectual circles outside of and indeed beyond the Ottoman madrasa and palace libraries at the turn of the sixteenth century. Both the inventory and external evidence show Müʾeyyedzade’s connections to scholars around and across the Mediterranean and confirm the extent of his interest in these sciences. This article argues that his activities as a scholar, patron and collector of books and as a convenor of intellectual salons were part of a larger shared intellectual geography of the Aegean, Adriatic, and wider Mediterranean Seas that constituted the fertile grounds of late Renaissance scholarship – East and West.

Kopernikus’un Gölgesinin Dışına Çıkmak: Müʾeyyedzade Abdurrahman Efendi’nin Şahsi Kütüphanesindeki Matematik ve Astronomi Kitapları (yak. 1480-1516)

Judith Pfeiffer

Müʾeyyedzade olarak da bilinen Osmanlı âlimi, kadısı ve kitapseveri ʿAbdurrahman b. ʿAli b. Müeyyed (ö. 1516/922) 2.000 ilâ 7.000 kitap içeren şahsi kütüphanesi ile meşhurdur. Daha çok bir kadı ve mütekellim olarak bilinse de, Müʾeyyedzade’nin pozitif bilimlerle, özellikle astronomi ve matematik ile de ilgilendiği görülüyor. Eğitiminin hayatına şekil veren büyük bir bölümü, 1470’lerin sonunda ve 1480’lerin başında Şiraz’daki uzun ikâmeti sırasında Celâleddîn Devânî, Sadreddîn ve Gıyâseddîn Deştekî, Mîr Hüseyin Meybudî ve muhtemelen genç bir Şemseddîn Hafrî gibişöhretli âlimlerin çevresinde gerçekleşti. Müʾeyyedzade’nin kütüphanesinin erken onaltıncı yüzyıldan kalma envanteri Osmanlı medrese ve saray kütüphanelerinin dışında ve hatta ötesinde bu dönemde Osmanlı aydın çevrelerinin erişebildiği metinlerin neler olduğu konusuna ışık tutar. Hem envanterin kendisi hem de diğer kaynaklar, Müʾeyyedzade’nin Akdeniz çevresindeki diğer âlimlerle olan ilişkilerini ve onun pozitif bilimlere olan ilgisinin kapsamını gösterir. Bu makale, onun bir âlim, kitap koleksiyoneri, hâmî, ve entelektüel meclislerin sahibi olarak etkinliklerinin, Geç Rönesans bilimlerinin bereketli mekânlarını oluşturan Ege Denizi, Adriyatik ve daha geniş olarak Akdeniz çevresinin ortak entelektüel coğrafyasının bir parçası olduğunu iddia eder.

Keywords: Osmanlılar, kitapseverlik, kütüphaneler, astronomi, hey’et, matematik, bilim tarihi, Devvani, Akdeniz, meclis, Rönesans, İslâm, onbeşinci yüzyıl, onaltıncı yüzyıl, Eski Yunan bilimleri, Mütevassıtât
