ibn ar ruled a suicide by the Mamlk authorities. The narrative sources enumerate his building projects and architectural legacy in Egypt and Syria (including a mosque and a khnqh in Cairo, two mosques in Damascus, and a madrasa in Jerusalem). This further demonstrates that his power and prestige were, in many ways, comparable to those of the greatest amrs of his time.
Studies in early Islamic tradition by Dr. Suliman Bashear
Collected Studies 2, 2004
Suliman Bashear (1947-1991) was born in the northern Israeli village of Mghar. He studied at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem for his B.A. (1971) and M.A. (1973). In 1976, he received his Ph.D. at the University of London for his dissertation “Communism in the Arab East,” which was published both in Arabic and English. This collection includes 15 critical and incisive studies by Bashear on various issues in the early Islamic tradition. One of the main themes running throughout these works is the gradual development of Islamic ritual and religious belief from within the historical context of Judaism and Christianity into a spiritual system seemingly rooted solely in the Hijāz. Bashear's studies consider not only the development of religious customs and beliefs, but also seek to explain how later generations recast the past in order to meet the needs of their own era. In the Introduction, Lawrence I. Conrad highlights the major themes in Bashear's works and describes his unique and stormy academic career, cut short by his untimely death at the age of 44.

Nevşehirli Damad İbrahim (Dāmād İbrāhīm) Paşa (c.1073-1143/c.1662-1730) was an Ottoman grand vizier for twelve years, nine months, and ten days (1130-43/1718-30) during the reign of Sultan Ahmed (Aḥmed) III (r. 1114-42/1703-30) [Illustration 1]. He was born in the village of Muşkara, which was located in the kaza (qaḍā, judicial district) of Ürgüp, in the sancak (sancaq, administrative unit) of Niğde, in the eyalet (eyālet, province) of Karaman. İbrahim Paşa later invested heavily in the village of his birth, which contributed to its transformation into the city of Nevşehir, as it was called from 1138-9/1726 onwards. To emphasise his link to the city, he was nicknamed Nevşehirli ("from Nevşehir"). His investment in Muşkara/Nevşehir, as well as Ürgüp, Kayseri, and Arkıd-Karaman, through vakıfs (waqf, pious foundation) is well documented (VGMA, register nos. 27, 38, 42, 734). İbrahim Paşa's father was Ali Ağa (ʿAlī Āghā, d. 1085/1674), the voyvoda (governor) of İzdin (Lamia, in present-day Greece), and his mother was Fatma (Fāṭ(i)ma) Hanım (d. 1112/1700). He came to Istanbul in 1100/1689, and a close relative helped him enter the imperial service at the Saray-ı Atik (Sarāy-ı ʿAtīq, or Eski Saray, "the Old Palace," the rst Ottoman palace in Istanbul, built by Mehmed (Meḥmed) II, r. 848-50/1444-6 and 855-86/1451-81). He started as a helvacı (ḥelvācı, sweet-maker) but later joined the teberdarân (teberdārān)-ı saray-ı atik (corps of halberdiers of the saray-ı atik), which was under the authority of the chief eunuch of the harem (ağa-yı darü's-saʿade). İbrahim Paşa's highest post at the Saray-ı Atik was evkaf katibi (awqāf kātibī, clerk of pious foundations). The turning point in his career that eventually led to the grand vizierate was his appointment as a yazıcı halifesi (yāzıcī khalifesi, junior clerk) at the palace in Edirne, on 8 Zilkade (Dhū l-Qaʿda) 1106 (20 June 1695). He made the İbrahim Paşa, Nevşehirli Damad-Brill https://referenceworks.brillonline.com/entries/encyclopaedia-of-islam- ...
