- 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.

- Notes
- This work on grammar, lexicography, morphology (ṣarf(صرف)) and the derivation of words (ishtiqāq(اشتقاق)) represents Qūshjī’s major contribution to the newly emerging discipline of Arabic semantics, known as ʿilm al-waḍʿ (علم الوضع) by building on and reworking ʿAḍud al-Dīn al-Ījī (1281-1355)'s seminal work, al-Risāla al- waḍʿiyya(الرسالةالوضعيّة). Produced in İstanbul upon the request of Mehmed II sometime in the years 1470 [1470 CE]-1474 [1474 CE], the work constitutes a summation ofQūshjī’s ideas on the subject, and made a significant contribution to ʿilm al-waḍʿ (علم الوضع) or Arabic semantics, specifically the study of how meaning (maʿnī (معني)) becomes fixed upon words or vocables (lafẓ (لفظ)) and its ramifications, developing it from a marginal field into a discipline of its own right during the Ottoman period.
