Sharh and Hashiya Historiography in the Ottoman Science Tradition -Evaluation of the Tafsir of Ahmad al-Karamani / His Hashiya on Zemahşeri-
Journal Title: Marife Dini Araştırmalar Dergisi - Year 2015, Vol 15, Issue 2
Abstract
One must grasp the logic of the hashiya and sharh genre, to correctly decode the Ottoman scholarly tradition. This is due to the fact that the academic products in the field of Islamic sciences during the Ottoman period substantially consist of sharhs and hashiyas. When sharh and hashiya works are regarded as sole repetitions of the past knowledge, the accumulation of five or six centuries of scientific advance would be regarded in advance as condemned. Whereas it is a better way to see these commentaries and hashiyas as works who apply analysis, criticism, comparison and judgments on founding texts whose competence in their field has been assured. It would be a good start to enter Ottoman research life by thinking that what justifies these scholarly works is that via these works scientific continuity and vitality is provided and certain traditions are represented. It would end in better results if we look also at Tafsir works from this viewpoint. Indeed, the commentary belonging to Ahmad b. Mahmûd al-Karamânî which is a hashiya on al-Zamakhshari’s Tafsir, is one of the best examples of this powerful genre.
