In 1768, Ahmad al-Damanhuri became the rector (shaykh) of al-Azhar, which was one
of the most authoritative and respected positions in the Ottoman Empire. He occupied
this position until his death. Despite being a prolific author, whose writings are
largely extant, al-Damanhuri remains almost unknown, and much of his work awaits study
and analysis. This book aims to shed light on al-Damanhuri's diverse intellectual
background, and that of and his contemporaries, building on and continuing the scholarship
on the academic thought of the late Ottoman Empire. The book specifically investigates
the intersection of medical and religious knowledge in Eighteenth-Century Egypt. It
takes as its focus a manuscript on anatomy by al-Damanhuri (d. 1778), entitled "The
Clear Statement on the Science of Anatomy (al-qawl al-sarih fi 'ilm al-tashrih),".
The book includes an edited translation of The Clear Statement, which is a well-known
but unstudied and unpublished manuscript. It also provides a summary translation and
analysis of al-Damanhuri's own intellectual autobiography. As such, the book provides
an important window into a period that remains deeply understudied and a topic that
continues to cause debates and controversies. This study, therefore, will be of keen
interest to scholars working on the "post-Classical" Islamic world, as well as historians
of religion, science, and medicine looking beyond Europe in the Early Modern period
