Biographical notes

Born in Konya, Ḥācı Paşa was educated in Cairo where he studied the religious sciences with the famous Hanafi scholar al-Bābartī (ca. 1310-1384) and medicine at the Manṣūriyya medical complex. In 1370 [1370 CE] he travelled to Ayasuluk in the western Aegean region of Anatolia and entered the service of the Aydınid ruler, Faḫreddīn ʿİsā Bey (r. ca. 760s-789/1360s-1389). Under ʿİsā Bey, Ḥācı Paşa served as qadi, madrasa professor, and court physician, and authored medical texts and religious works. We know nothing about Ḥācı Paşa’s whereabouts and activities following Bayezid I’s deposition of the Aydınid ruler, ʿİsā Bey in 1389 AH [1389 CE]. Although we do not know the date of Ḥācı Paşa’s death, he continued to compose works well into the early years of Murad II’s reign.

Title

Sharḥ Lawāmiʿ al-Asrār fī Sharḥ Maṭāliʿ al-Anwār

شرح لوامع الاسرار في شرح مطالع الانوار

Notes

Ḥācı Paşa composed this work, a supercommentary on Quṭb al-Dīn al-Rāzī al-Taḥtānī (قطب الدين الرازي التحتاني)’s Lawāmiʿ al-Asrār fī Sharḥ Maṭāliʿ al-Anwār (لوامع الاسرار في شرح مطالع الانوار) (Scintillations of the Secrets: A Commentary on the Rays of Dawnlight), in 1382 [1382 CE] while professor of the madrasa in Ayasuluk, and dedicated it to the Aydınid ruler, ʿİsā Bey (r. ca. 760s-789/1360s-1389). Quṭb al-Dīn al-Rāzī al-Taḥtānī’s Scintillations of the Secrets is a commentary on Sirāj al-Dīn Maḥmūd b. Abī Bakr al-Urmawī (d. 681/1283) (سراج الدين محمود بن ابي بكر الارموي)’s Maṭāliʿ al-Anwār fī’l-ḥikma wa’l-manṭiq (مطالع الانوار في الحكمة و المنطق) (Rays of Dawnlight in Metaphysics and Logic), a rather compact two-part work devoted to logic, dialectal theology and metaphysics. Quṭb al-Dīn al-Rāzī al-Taḥtānī’s Scintillations of the Secrets, like al-Bayḍāwī’s Qurʾānic commentary, became a standard Ottoman madrasa textbook. Ḥācı Paşa briefly studied under Quṭb al-Dīn al-Rāzī al-Taḥtānī probably just before he passed away in Damascus, as is derived from a statement Ḥācı Paşa makes in the introduction of his supercommentary on Scintillations of the Secrets, noting that his supercommentary was based on his notes taken while Quṭb al-Dīn al-Rāzī al-Taḥtānī explicated his own commentary on al-Urmawī’s Maṭāliʿ al-Anwār.

The place of composition is Ayasuluk
