Ebülûla Mardin’s Studies on Ulama Biographies

Ebülûla Mardin has a special place among those authors who wrote the biographies of the members of the ulama class during the Republican period. The significance of his status and work lies in the double fact that not only he was educated in both the madrasa and the maktab traditions, but he was also a professor who was actively involved in the processes of legal modernization in both the late-Ottoman and Republican periods. This article dis-cusses, mainly through his important book, Huzur Dersleri, the conditions for the emer-gence, and the historical development, of his work, as well as its background and sources, its richness and potential, and some of its problems.
