Biographical notes

The pen-name of Cemālī is also used by Sufi poet Meḥmed Cemāleddīn (d. 1164/1744), which may result in a confusion of the two in mecmū‘a and cönk collections. In many of these the same pen-name also appears for Cemāl-i Ḫalvetī (d.899/1494), again leading to a possible confusion.

Cemālī is the nephew of famous court poet Şeyḫī (d. 832/1428-9).He may have also been called Şeyḫoġlı Cemālī or Şeyḫoġlı, leading to his confusion with the poet Şeyḫoġlı (d. after 803/1401-- before 812/1409). His date of birth is unknown. However it is generally accepted that he was born around 813-815 [1410-1412 CE], inferred from the estimation that he was around the age of twenty when he wrote an appendum to Şeyḫī’s Ḫusrev ü Şīrīn. Cemālī was most probably from Karaman, although he may also have been from Bursa. In addition to the nisba of el-Aḳşehrī, the nisba of el-Aḳsarāyī also appears in some manuscripts. Both towns indicate a Karamanid origin. Cemālī may have received his education in the Germiyān Beylik (Kütahya), the home town of his uncle Şeyḫī. Poems in Arabic and Persian in his Dīvān show that he was well-educated and versed in these languages. He may also have been a musician. A number of inscriptions in Bursa composed by Cemālī indicate that he may have spent part of his life in this city. Cemālī moved to Istanbul during the reign of Meḥmed II. His Dīvān includes several poems in praise of the conquest of Constantinople.Cemālī’s own reference to his old age at the time of his participation in the siege of Albania (Siege of Shkodra) in 883 AH [1478 CE] is our only definite source to the last years of his life. Cemālī’s Dīvān abounds in poetry dedicated to Meḥmed II to whom his other works are also dedicated, but no reference is made anywhere to Bāyezīd II. In contrast to the statements found in biographical dictionaries, where Cemālī is shown to have lived to the end of the reign of Bāyezīd II, we must thus conclude that he probably died at the end of the reign of Meḥmed II or in the early years of the reign of Bāyezīd II. In Osmanlı Müellifleri it is stated that his grave is located near the lodge of Emīr Buḫārī outside of Edirnekapı.
