Extract
this book took its final shape through indispensable contributions of scholars, friends, colleagues, institutions, and my family. My special thanks and gratitude are due to scholars who took part in this endeavor from early on in different capacities. Cemal Kafadar, besides his unremitting support and supervision throughout my graduate training and writing, has been a continuous source of inspiration at every level of my research and analysis. My conversations with Cornell Fleischer, as well as his encouragement and support, helped me overcome major challenges of this project while his comments saved this work from many probable pitfalls. My discussions with Roy Mottahedeh on various aspects of political thought throughout the process provided me with exciting questions to explore. During the early stages of my work, the late Şinasi Tekin exerted as much effort as I did in grappling with the idiosyncrasies and complexities of Turkish manuscript texts that helped me to proceed with confidence. Each time I visited Hossein Modarressi to seek help in my quest to make sense of what seemed to be the most ambiguous passages from Arabic and Persian manuscripts, he startled me with his instant grasp of what I had previously despaired of comprehending. Ridwan al-Sayyid helped me acquire a deeper understanding of the major issues and problems of pre-Ottoman Islamic political thought and kept me up-to-date with new publications in Arabic on the subject. The late Halil Inalcik, who pulled me back to Ottoman history from a possible career in political science and directed my attention to some little known but exciting texts on political thought, was a true mentor all along.
