The Ottoman government’s investment in the Hajj and patronage of sacred sites in the ?aramayn has been well documented. This paper goes a step further in assessing the impact of this investment and patronage on conceptions of the Hajj and engagement with the sacred space of Mecca between 1660 and 1760. Mass-produced images of the Meccan sacred landscape from this period illuminate the diverse range of sites which accrued importance alongside the Masjid al-Haram and other locations of Hajj ritual. These include a corpus of over 50 tiles illustrating Mecca, mostly placed in mosques across Turkey and in Cairo. Like local Hajj ceremonial in Istanbul, Cairo and Damascus, widely available representations of Mecca provided “non-pilgrims” with unprecedented opportunities of engagement with the Hajj, thus “scattering” its sacred space. Pilgrimage narratives of both Arab, Rumi and Maghrebi scholars bring to light their unique engagements with sites of contemporary significance, both spiritually and intellectually. In the case of 'Abd al-Ghani al-Nabulsi, his personal Hajj experience led him to compose his own Hajj manual (man?sik), as well as a treatise reflecting on the sacred space of the Ka’ba. Hajj manuals and other literature of a more prescriptive nature provide further insight into those elements of the Hajj and its journey which had amassed importance by the early modern period. The paper thus elucidates the complex overlaps of imperial patronage and religious experience.
