Chief of the Ulema Explanation: This fairly literal translation of the title is used by Encyclopaedia Brittania (see quote below), and it sidesteps the question of whether his main role had to do with science. Regardless of the fact that the Arabic word for science is at the root of 'ilmiye', I somehow do not believe that this functionary had a scientific role in the sense that we would understand it. http://www.libraryindex.com/encyclopedia/pages/cpxl8rz726/di... "DIVAN, THE, or privy council of the Sublime Porte, is presided over by the sadri-azam, grand vizier (porter), or minister of the interior, who connuunicates its deliberations to the sultan. It also contains the mufti, sheikh-ul-islam, chief of the ulema, also called principal of the court of cassation, and minister of justice and ecclesiastical affairs, whose fetva is nominally- required for the firmans of the Chvernment. Among other members we may mention the seraskier, or war-minister ; the capudan pasha, or minister of marine ; the foreign minister (called, until the reforms of Mahmoud, reis effendi); the grand terftardar, or finance minister ; the mustechar, or assistant vizier, who comes in place of the ancient kiaya bey, abolished by Mahmoud ; the tchiaous bashi, or intendant general of police ; and the intendant of vakufs, or church-lands." |
