“Despite his prolific nature as a writer and over-representation in the Ottoman archival and library registers, Bursevi is poorly understood and his relevance to Ottoman and Islamic history has not been properly situated. This book goes a long way toward rectifying that imbalance. It is a critical addition to the scholarly literature on Sufism and the history of the Ottoman Empire, and an advance that has benefited my own work on the topic.”
