It includes nine remarkable case studies from different parts of the Islamic world that examine the professional mobility within the literati and, especially, the social-cum-cultural group of Muslim scholars (ʿulamāʾ) between the eighth and the eighteenth centuries. Based on individual case studies and quantitative mining of biographical dictionaries and other primary sources from Islamic Iberia, North and West Africa, Umayyad Damascus and the Hejaz, Abbasid Baghdad, Ayyubid and Mamluk Syria and Egypt, various parts of the Seljuq Empire, and Hotakid Iran, this edited volume presents professional mobility as a defining characteristic of pre-modern Islamic societies.

Ibn Taymiyya, noch neue Erkenntnisse. Dazu gehört, dass die Bewertung von Mobilität immer im Kontext der jeweiligen Gesellschaft bzw. auch von persönlichen Motiven betrachtet werden muss....In allem ist der Band jedoch sehr lesenswert und eine inspirierende Ergänzung zur bestehenden Forschung. Es ist in jedem Fall erstrebens- und lohnenswert, den von dem Band vorgezeichneten Weg weiterzuverfolgen, auszudifferenzieren und mit mehr Fallbeispielen auszutesten.\" -- Mohammad Gharaibeh, Berliner Institut für Islamische Theologie, Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin in H-SozKult, 27.04. 2022“    - Mohammad Gharaibeh, Berliner Institut für Islamische Theologie, Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, In: H-Soz-Kult, 27.04.2022.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eContents   Foreword   Acknowledgments   List of Maps, Figures, Tables   Notes on Contributors      Introduction: Professional Mobility as a Defining Characteristic  of Pre-Modern Islamic Societies    Mohamad El-Merheb and Mehdi Berriah      part 1: Networks of Knowledge and Learning   1 Medinan Scholars on the Move: Professional Mobility at the  Umayyad Court    Mehmetcan Akpınar      2 Professional Mobility and Social Capital: A Note on the muḥaddithāt  in Kitāb Tārīkh Baghdād    Nadia Maria El Cheikh      3 The Aqīt Household: Professional Mobility of a Berber Learned Elite  in Premodern West Africa    Marta G.
