This dissertation is about the social world of learning at al-Azhar in the sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries. After al-Qarawiyyin (al-Karaouine) University (established in 859 in Fez, Morocco), al-Azhar is the second-oldest continually operating center of Islamic learning. Since its founding in 972 by the Fatimids, it has hosted students and scholars participating in the Islamic tradition's venerable practice of traveling in search of knowledge (talab al-ilm)..

520 $a This dissertation is about the social world of learning at al-Azhar in the sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries. After al-Qarawiyyin (al-Karaouine) University (established in 859 in Fez, Morocco), al-Azhar is the second-oldest continually operating center of Islamic learning. Since its founding in 972 by the Fatimids, it has hosted students and scholars participating in the Islamic tradition's venerable practice of traveling in search of knowledge (talab al-ilm)..
520 $a Beginning in the fifteenth century, al-Azhar accommodated polyglot students and scholars hailing from around the Mediterranean Basin and Sub-Saharan Africa, and grouped them into learning communities called riwaqs, which served as their primary living-quarters and workrooms. Between the mid-fifteenth and mid-seventeenth centuries, the number of riwaqs more than doubled in size. This expansion was attributed to the rapid influx of students and scholars, whose active stewardship and strategies shaped the development of al-Azhar's built environment.
520 $a Throughout the dissertation, I spotlight al-Azhar as a living institution that was embedded in the urban fabric of Cairo and was constitutive of that fabric in profoundly material ways. I bring into relief the construction of sleeping closets and storage units (khizanas) to ease al-Azhar's transformation into a residential learning space. I highlight its robust culture of competition and survival, demonstrating Azharis competing for waqf-funded offices and properties at Cairo's premier religious institutions. I present its riwaq system as a productive framework for contextualizing ethnicity and thinking of it as a social practice.
520 $a As Arabic chronicles have played a dominant role in narrating the story of al-Azhar, I have foregrounded the use of sijills, or the Ottoman court registers, as a principal source for this study. Sijills shift critical focus away from the intellectual trajectories of scholarly elites to a variety of mundane and non-scholarly issues, such as the pursuit of material capital, self-preservation, and career advancement.
