Biographical notes
The son of the Timurid Ruler Ulugh Beg's head falconer, ʿAlī al-Qūshjī grew up at the ruler's court in Samarqand (Uzbekistan), studying the basics of mathematics and astronomy under Ulugh Beg himself as well as those in his scientific circle including Qādīzāde al-Rūmī and Ghiyāth al-Dīn Jamshīd al-Kāshānī (or Kāshī) After completing his education which involved extensive travel, he contributed to the preparation of Ulugh Beg's Zīj (زيج) at the observatory of Samarqand (Uzbekistan) Following the assassination of his patron Ulugh Beg in 1469 [1469 CE], ʿAlī al-Qūshjī moved to Herat , where he remained until 1469 [1469 CE] when his patron, the Timurid ruler Abu Sa'id Mirza was defeated by Aqquyunlus and he relocated to Tabriz benefitting from Uzun Hasan's patronage. He first became acquainted with Mehmed II when he was sent to Istanbul by Uzun Hasan as an envoy. He soon after sought the Ottoman sultan's patronage in Istanbul and accompanied him on his campaign against Uzun Hasan Upon his return Mehmed II to Istanbul following the Ottoman defeat of the Aqquyunlu, he was appointed professor at Ayasofya madrasa, which he briefly held until his death in 1474 [1474 CE]. Offering an alternative to Aristotelian physics as the basis of astronomy, ʿAlī al-Qūshjī exerted a profound influence on Ottoman thought and science, as well as in the Iranian world and Central Asia.
