@article{2020,title={Scholarly Life in Mamluk Sultanate and Women’s Place in Scholarly Life},abstractNode={The Mamluks State, which is named as “the Realm of the Turks”, attracts attention with its numerous encyclopedic literary, historical, religious and biographical works. This shows that the period in question was a scene of great scholarly activity. There are those who link the scholarly revival of the Mamluks in Egypt to the revival of the Abbasid caliphate in Egypt, or those who link it with the migration of many scholars from other Islamic countries to Egypt as a result of the Mongol invasion. In fact, it is possible to explain this phenomenon with the value that the Mamluk sultans and emirs gave to scholars and science itself. Regardless of the reason, the scholars that are trained in all branches of Islamic sciences, the compiled works, the established darülhadis and madrasahs and the grown students witness the scientific life in this period. In this period, women played an active role in scientific life as well as men. Women have taught many courses, especially Hadith, in homes, gardens and mosques. The traces of Turkish culture can be clearly seen in the participation of women in social life during the Mamluk period. As a matter of fact, in order to see the social status of women in the social structure of this period, it is enough to look at the nicknames given to them. It is known that the Mameluke rulers attach great importance to their ladies and use the nickname “havend (hond)”, which is an honor of their own, for them. However, with few exceptions, women did not come to the forefront in the political sphere. On the other hand, it can be said that they play an active role especially in scholarly, social and architectural fields.},author={Muhammet YILMAZ-Nagihan EMİROĞLU},year={2020},journal={Turkish Studies-Comparative Religious Studies}}
