بايات الأسرة الحسينية بتونس : تكوينهم العلمي و أثرهم في الحركة العلمية (1117- 1229ه 1705-1814م)‎

الملخص EN

The scientific movement in Tunisia witnessed a great decline during the last period of the Hafsids and the beginning of the Ottomans, however, the scientific activity began reappear gradually in the second half of the seventeenth century due to the efforts made by the Murad Beys.

When the ruling passed to the Husaynian Beys in 1705 A.D, they continued with the Muradid caring about science.

This was thanks to the Bey Hussein bin Ali, founder of the Hussainian family who founded several schools in the capital Tunis, and took great care of the Zaytuna Mosque.

His interest was not focused on the capital only, but extended to other parts of the state.

He was also keen on educating his sons who succeeded him at the head of the state; thus ensuring more care for the scientific movement in Tunisia, as these educated Beys were carrying a cultural project, following the path of their father and taking care of scholars, and established and renewed many religious and educational buildings.

This study is devoted to the first five Beys who successively ruled Tunisia since the founding of the Hussainian family in the year 1705 by the Bey Hussein bin Ali until the year 1814 CE, which marks the end of the reign of his grandson Hammouda Pasha, the fifth of the Husaynian beys.

It is also about determining the extent of the influence of the culture of these beys and their scientific formation in their orientation to interest in religious and scientific life.

The constant interest in it led to the emergence of an active scientific movement in Tunisia during the modern period, which resulted in a proliferation of religious and educational institutions in it, mainly schools, as well as many scholars and students of knowledge.

Moreover, the scientific metallurgy has multiplied.
