Biographical notes

There is some confusion in the scholarly literature regarding the identification of Ḫoca Mesʿūd. The sixteenth-century Ottoman biographer of poets, ʿĀşıḳ Çelebī, in his Meşāʿirü’ş-Şuʿarā refers to Ḫoca Mesʿūd, author of the work, Süheyl ü Nev-Bahār, as a poet living during Murad I’s reign. J. H. Mordtmann believed that Ḫoca Mesʿūd was the same individual as Ḳul Mesʿūd, author of Kelīle ve Dimne, based on linguistic similarities between the two works Süheyl ü Nev-Bahār and Kelīle ve Dimne, and speculated that these works must have been produced for the Aydınid rulers of Ayasuluk. In contradiction to Mordtmann, M. F. Köprülü argued that Ḫoca Mesʿūd was not the same as Ḳul Mesʿūd and posited that Ḫoca Mesʿūd was a Germiyanid poet who must have been the famous Germiyanid poet Şeyhoğlu’s teacher, as the latter’s praise-filled references to Ḫoca Mesʿūd in his works indicate. Subsequent scholars generally following Köprülü in identifying Ḫoca Mesʿūd as a Germiyanid scholar.

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

Teshīl fī’ṭ-ṭibb

Notes

According to A. Süheyl Ünver, Ḥācı Paşa compiled the Teshīl in 1408 [1408 CE], when he no longer had the support of a patron. Known sometimes under the name of Teysīr, the Teshīl is an abbreviated version of the author’s Münteḫab-i şifāʾ, and its conciseness may explain the its greater popularity vis-à-vis the Münteḫab-i şifāʾ. The Teshīl retains, with minor modifications, more or less the same introduction as that of the Münteḫab-i şifāʾ, adopting the same structure of three sections (baḫş), and much of the same wording throughout the text. The Teshīl ends abruptly, indicating that Ḥācı Paşa may have never completed it.
