Abstract :First paragraph: An "International Symposium on Molla Fanārī” was held in Bursa, Turkey on 4-6 December 2009. While Mullā Fanārī (d. 834/1431) was one of the leading thinkers of the early Ottoman period, he has up till now received little attention. Although this may give the impres-sion that he was not so influential a thinker, this is clearly not the case as shown by the various contributions of the present sympo-sium. S. Ḥusayn Naṣr, an important contemporary scholar of Islamic thought, was impressed by his thought, as M. Kara indicated, while A. Godlas made clear how even today Mullā Fanārī might remain a vivid source of spiritual inspiration.Keywords : International Symposium, on Molla Fanārī, Mullā Fanārī
