Biographical notes

An Anatolian poet and physician, Şeyḫī was born in Kütahya, the capital of Germiyan (Turkey) region. One of his tutors was Aḥmedī, a famous Ottoman poet of the late 14th and 15th century [1350-1499 CE], during his youth. He went to Iran and majored in literature, Islamic mysticism and medicine. After his return to Kütahya, he joined in the court of Germiyan ruler Yākub II and he practiced as the court ophthalmologist. He got in touch with the Ottomans in the time of Emīr Süleymān Chelebi, and got the title reīs-i eṭıbbā (head of physicians) of the Ottomans when he cured Mehmed I. He is famous for his masnawis (e.g. Ḫüsrev ü Şîrîn and Ḫarnâme) and accepted as one of the founders of Ottoman literature. He was called as hüsrev-i şuarā, pīşterīn-i şuarā-yı Rūm or şeyhü’ş-şuarā (all means “head of poets”) in the sources. His tomb is in Dumlupınar, Kütahya.

Notes

Şeyḫī’s Divan contains poems dedicated to various patrons, both the Germiyanid rulers under whom Şeyḫī grew up and the Ottomans Murad II and Mehmed I. In addition, Şeyḫī’s Divan contains 200 gazels which indicate a strong influence from Persian poetry such as the works of Salman Savji and Hafiz.
