Explores early Ottoman popular piety through the lens of the Yaz?c?o?lu brothers
The first book-length study in English on the Yaz?c?o?lu brothers, among the most popular vernacular religious writers and thinkers of the early Ottoman period
Reconstructs the Yaz?c?o?lus' biographies, assesses the heritage of their language and ideas and analyses the ways these were adapted to their distinct setting
Argues that Ottoman popular orthodoxy emerged as a synthesis of a cosmopolitan Islamic canon to address the needs of Turcophone Muslims of the Ottoman lands
Contributes to the study of non-elite intellectual life of Ottoman Muslims at the dawn of an imperial age
This study follows the lives and ideas of the Yaz?c?o?lu brothers Mehmed Yaz?c?o?lu and Ahmed Bican, Sufis of the frontier city of Gelibolu and authors of the most popular religious writings in Ottoman Turkish.
Carlos Grenier places the Yaz?c?o?lus' durable religious vision within their dynamic historical moment on the contested Ottoman borderlands. Examining how these non-elite writers deployed their own intellectual resources, he considers how they approached the religious sciences of the wider Islamic world. And he looks at how they created a religious synthesis appropriate for their own community, the growing Turcophone Muslim population of the Balkans and Anatolia.
