Investigating the Condition of Transferring Sciences To the Realm of Ottoman Caliphate up to the Entrance Of Shi i Scholars in Safawid Period

Stability of Shahrukh Mirza’s governance over Teymur’s vast areas of conquests in Iran was necessary for political-cultural relations with Ottomans for preventing Āq-Quyūnlū and Qarā-Quyūnlū Turkmen’s disobedience and controlling power struggle among Teymur’s offspring in western Iran and Arab Iraq. More than four decades of good relations up to Shahrukh’s death – 850 AH – caused scientific migration of Ottoman scientists to Iran and transference of the traditions of Iranian schools to Ottoman land in their return. Although this scientific trade between two countries continued up to the end of the rule of Sultan Hussein Bayiqrā in Harāt, the fall of stable governments and the establishment of Safawid rulers caused another group of non-Shiite scholars to migrate to Ottoman land.
Ottoman kings supported them and seized the opportunity to transfer the sciences and traditions of Iranian schools and formation of Ottoman period of sciences. Ottoman Empire used those emigrants in offices such as special doctors, military jurists, and school teachers, sending them to all parts of Ottoman Empire. Meanwhile, Safawids also attracted and welcomed skilful Shiite scholars such as Sheikh Bahā’uddīn Āmulī and Ali bin Hilāl Karakī to promote and diffuse sciences throughout Safawid territory.
