Biographical notes

Virtually nothing is known of his life. The pen-name of Ṭutmacı may come from the word “ṭutma,” which refers to a type of melon which grows near the stream of Zengibasar, زنگیبصر in the vicinity of Yerevan. The existence of elements from Azari and Chaghatai Turkish in his language further implies that he grew up in the Caucasus region. In the introduction to his Gül ü Ḫüsrev, Ṭutmacı refers to his contemporaries Aḥmedī (d. 815/1412-13) and Şeyḫoġlı (d. . 817/1414) as great masters, thus suggesting that he lived in the second half of the fourteenth century and composed his work while living in Anatolia. In the same introduction Ṭutmacı also refers to being of significant age at the time of writing.
