The present edited volume offers a collection of new concepts and approaches to the study of mobility in pre-modern Islamic societies. 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.

"Im Ganzen ist der Band ein gelungener und lesenswerter Beitrag zur Forschung und bietet selbst für besonders häufig studierte Fälle, wie z.B. 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“
