This dissertation analyzes the social and political trajectories of Islamic scholars (ulama) as an entry point toward examining the relationship between knowledge and power within a cohesive zone of Persianate high culture. Three core insights build upon one another throughout the study: (1) The ulama were united by an extraordinarily eclectic skillset-jurisprudence, mysticism, poetry, occult sciences, medicine, inter alia-which were embodied in discrete social roles, but not separate social groups. Rather, these constituted separate activities performed by a single milieu. (2) Over the course of the eighteenth through twentieth centuries, Islamic scholars deployed that skillset to mythologize Bukhara into a timeless religious and cultural center by endowing the city's geography with symbolic significance derived from sacred Islamic history and Persian literature. This in turn offered the region a cultural coherence that transcended the multitude of competing Eurasian city-states characterized by gradated and overlapping forms of sovereignty. (3) The many of the talents of the ulama were indispensable to the political-military elite, whose patronage allowed the scholars to establish family dynasties spanning centuries. Despite this mutual dependence, the ulama never ceded their moral authority to independently speak for religion.
