Qushji: an anti-Aristotelian astronomer, a Muslim genius of Hagia Sophia

Ali al-Qushji left an important mark in the field of astronomy in the 15th century. The son of the royal falconer who served the legendary astronomer Ulugh Beg, Qushji took courses in the linguistic sciences, mathematics, and astronomy as well as other sciences taught by Beg and his proteges.

As he approached Istanbul, Sultan Mehmed sent a group of scholars to welcome Qushji. According to some historical accounts, while crossing the Bosphorus to enter Istanbul, a discussion ensued about the causes of the strait's ebb and flow. When he arrived at the Ottoman Palace, he presented a mathematical piece of work titled “Al‐Muḥammadiyya fi al‐ḥisab” to the Sultan, which was named in Mehmed's honour.

A remarkable polymath, he excelled in several disciplines including language and literature, philosophy and theology. His commentaries became more popular than the original texts, and they became the subject of numerous commentaries. Thousands of copies of Qūshjī's works were taught in the madrassas.
