Biographical notes

Turkish mystic poet and writer belonging to the dervish group named Abdālān-ı Rūm(ابدالان روم) , who was the first major representetive and the most influential forerunner of the genre which later came to be known as Alevi-Bektashi literature. Information on Ḳayġusuz Abdāl's life relies entirely on the references in his poems as well as the hagiographies of him and his master Abdāl Mūsā. Some scholars consider the name " Ġaybī(غيبي) which figures in his hagioraphy to be his real name. Other scholars, however, assert that this name rather resembles a pen name. His hagiography indicates that he was the son the Bey (Governor) of ‘Alā‘iye which is considered by some scholars as to be the reason for his occasional use of the pen name Sarāyī(سرايي). He served in the dervish lodge of his master Abdāl Mūsā (fl. 14th century) [1300-1399 CE]) which, according to historical documents, was initially located near Finike (Southern Anatolia) and later moved to the village of Tekke in Elmalı (Niğde, Turkey) . After obtaining icāzetnāme(اجازة نامه), Ḳayġusuz Abdāl travelled to Egypt where he found a dervish lodge in his own name. This dervish lodge as well as that of Abdāl Mūsā later became very important Bektashi centers. The references in his poems to place names in the Balkans as well as the existence of a neighborhood and a fountain named Ḳayġusuz in Bitola (Macedonia) have led scholars to believe that Ḳayġusuz either travelled to the Balkans or lived here for some time. His hagiography narrates his pilgrimage to Mecca and the cities he visited on his return, some of which include the sacred places of the Alevi-Bektashi and Shi’îte traditions, such as Kufah (Iraq), Najaf (Iraq) , Karbalāʼ (Iraq). It also gives a detailed account of his meeting with the Egyptian sultan which, in contrast to his other travels, cannot be verified through references in his works. Aḥmed Sırrı Baba(d. 1965 [1965 CE], ), the last shaykh of the Bektashi lodge in Cairo (Egypt), gives specific dates for Ḳayġusuz's travels and death (the date of 848 AH [1444 CE] for the latter), but does not make reference to any written sources. Two traditions exist on Ḳayġusuz's place of death, in parallel with the two distinct branches of his hagiography. According to one of these traditions, Ḳayġusuz died in Egypt and was buried in a cave in the mountain of Moqattam. This tradition is the source of the name ‘Abdullāhu’l-Maġavrī given to him by the people of Egypt. According to the second tradition, he was buried in Abdāl Mūsā dervish lodge in the village of Tekke. However, the fact that Evliyā Çelebī does no mention this tomb in his description of the dervish lodge makes doubtful the references in the kitābe of the tomb, which belongs to a later date. Ḳayġusuz Abdāl is the first poet known to call himself Bektāşī. His relation to Ḥacı Bektāş can be traced through his master Abdāl Mūsā, who was a follower (muḥibb) of Ḥacı Bektāş's spiritual daughter, Ḳadıncıḳ Ana. Abdāl Mūsā is also known for his participation in the conquest of Bursa which according to legend ties him to the Bektashisation of the Janissaries. According to the Bektashi tradition, Ḳayġusuz Abdāl initiated the use of the twelve-gored Qalandarī cap (ṭāc(طاج)). He and his master are nameholders of two of the twelve sheepskin ceremonial seats (pūṣt (پوصت)) in the Bektāshī meydān (ceremonial room), linking them to the duties of naḳīb(ناقيب) and ayaḳçı(اياقچي) in the Bektashi ceremony (cem‘(جمع)). A miniature of Ḳayġusuz Abdāl based on an older copy was painted by Levnī in the 18th century [1700-1799 CE]( TSMK, Albüm, nr. 2164, fol. 22b). Ḳayġusuz Abdāl also used his pen name in the form "Ḳayġusuz", which sometimes leads to the confusion of his poems in the cönk(جونك) and mecmū‘a(مجموعة) with those of a second Ḳayġusuz named Alāeddīn el-Vizevī(علاء الدين الوزوي) who lived in the 16th century [1500-1599 CE] and belonged to the Malāmī(ملامي) movement.

Biographical notes

Ḥacı Bayram was born in Ankara in the first half of the 14th century [1300-1399 CE]. His name appears as Eş-Şeyḫ el-Ḥāc Bayram b. Aḥmed b. Maḥmūd el-Anḳaravī (الشيخ الحاج بيرم بن احمد بن محمود الانقاراوي) in two vaḳfiyye (وقفية) of the period, dated 831 AH [1428 CE] and 832 AH [1428-1429 CE]. The title of "ḳutbu’l-evliyā (قتب الاوليا)" given to him in these documents suggests that he was highly popular during his lifetime. According to ‘Abdurraḥmān el-‘Askerī (عبدالرحمان العسكري)'s Mir’ātu’l-ışḳ (مرءات العشق), Ḥacı Bayram lived for over ninety years. As stated in sources such as Lāmi‘ī Çelebi (لامعي چلبي), Ṭaşḳöprüzāde (طاشقوپرولی زاده) and Mecdī (مجدي), Ḥacı Bayram was born near the river Çubuḳ Suyu in Ankara, in a village named Solfasol (Ẕü’l-fażl). While working as a müderris (مدرس) in Ankara, he became a disciple to Ṣomuncu Baba (d. 815/1412) (صومنجي بابا), after the latter asked Sulṭān Şücā‘ (سلطان شوجاع) to go to Ankara and invite him. Mir’ātu’l-ışḳ (مرءات العشق), on the other hand, relates that Ḥacı Bayram was never a müderris. According to this work, Ḥacı Bayram became a disciple of Ṣomuncu Baba in 805 AH [1403 CE]. Upon his return to Ankara from Aksaray, Ḥacı Bayram did not build a lodge and did not found a waqf, but instead engaged in farming, as was recommended to him by Ṣomuncu Baba . Due to complaints against him, Ḥacı Bayram was called to Edirne in the first years of the reign of Murad II. The fact that Bayramī (بيرامي) dervishes became exempt from taxation in the following years shows that the order kept good relations with the state. Ḥacı Bayram died in 833 AH [1429-1430 CE] in Ankara and was buried next to the mosque built in his name a few years earlier. We know from İnce Bedreddīn (اينجه بدرالدين)'s foreword to his translation of Fakhr al-dīn ‘Irāqī (فخرالدين عراقي)'s Lama‘āt (لمعات) that Ḥacı Bayram frequently referred to this text in his talks and encouraged İnce Bedreddīn (اينجه بدرالدين) to translate it. Ḥacı Bayram did not designate a successor, which lead to the bipartition of the Bayramiyye (بيرامية) into two distinct paths: That of his disciple Aḳşemseddīn (d.863/1458-59) (اق شمس الدين), resulting in the Sunni order Şemsiyye(شمسية), and that of his disciple Emīr Sikkīnī (d. 880/1475) (امير سكيني), leading to the Sufi movement of the Bayramī-Melāmī (بيرامي-ملامي).

Notes

Other than four poems, of which a comparative edition was publish by Hasibe Mazıoğlu, Ḥacı Bayram has no extant works. Some other poems and two letters have been wrongly attributed to him. Mazıoğlu's edition relies on printed sources and undated or late manuscripts. In the same article, Mazıoğlu documents the incluence of Yūnus Emre (يونس امره) on the given poems. Several commentaries were written on the poem which begins with "Çalabum bir şār yaratmış iki cihān arasında". The most famous and voluminous of these belongs to İsmā‘īl Ḥaḳḳı Būrsevī (d. 1137/1725) (اسماعيل حقي بورسوي).

Biographical notes

Turkish mystic poet of the second half of the 13th century [1200-1299 CE] and the first quarter of the 14th century [1300-1399 CE] , who was extremely influential in the dissemination of Sufi teachings in Anatolia and the formation of tekke poetry, in addition to his leading role in the use of ‘arūḍ meter in Old Anatolian Turkish. Information on Yūnus's life is scarce and relies heavily on the references in his poems as well as legendary tales. His dates of birth and death have been subject to various debates, which were largely concluded by a record published by Adnan Erzi ( (Erzi_1950, pp. 85-89). Taken from a mecmū‘a at Beyazıt Library (Beyazıt Library 7912, , 38v). This record indicates that Yūnus lived for 82 years and died in 720 AH [1320-1321 CE] This puts his date of birth in the year of 638 AH [1240-1241 CE]. According to the general opinion, Yūnus was born in an area nearby the Sakarya river and lived in the Ṭapduḳ Emre convent located at Emrem Sultan near Nallıhan. He donated his land in Sarıköy to the convent. In some of his poems Yūnus Emre mentions that he lived to an old age. Certain of his poems indicate that Yūnus had children. In a document dated 924 AH [1518 CE] in Konya Registers No. 871 of the Ottoman Archives, reference is made to Yūnus's son İsmā‘īl and to the fact that Yūnus Emre bought a land named Ammā Yerce from Karamanoğlu İbrahim Bey. Tough his references to being ümmī in his poems led popular legend to consider him as illiterate, it is now well accepted that Yūnus was fairly educated. Gölpınarlı ( (Golpinarli_1961, pp. 100-101)) draws close parallels between some of his poems and those of Saʻdī and Mevlānā Celāleddīn Rūmī, concluding that Yūnus knew enough Persian to do translations. The precise nature of his education is not known. References in his poems indicate that Yūnus was a disciple of Ṭapduḳ Emre , who was in turn the disciple of Ṣarı Ṣaltuḳ. In addition to these two masters, Yūnus mentions Mevlānā Celāleddīn Rūmī in his poems, for whom he has great veneration. He is critical of the dervish Geyikli Baba (14th cent.). The lack of references to Ḥacı Bekṭāş Velī indicate that, contrary to the passages in Bektashi sources, Yūnus Emre was not directly related to Ḥacı Bekṭāş. We know from his poem that Yūnus Emre travelled extensively. The places mentioned in his poems include Kayseri, Sivas, Maraş, “upper lands” (Azerbaijan), Damascus, Shiraz, Baghdad, Tabriz and Nakhchivan. References in his poems suggest that he did not go on pilgrimage. There are graves attributed to Yūnus in various places in Anatolia as well as in Azerbaijan. Scholars agree on the authenticity of the grave in Sarıköy, near Sivrihisar. This grave was moved in 1946 [1946 CE] in the building of the railway between Ankara and Eskişehir and was subsequently transferred to its own newly built musoleum in 1970 [1970 CE]. Faruk K. Timurtaş was the first scholar to indicate that Yūnus Emre and ‘Āşıḳ Yūnus were two separate poets. ( (Timurtaş, Faruk, ed. Yunus Emre Dîvânı. Ankara: Başbakanlık Basımevi, 1986., pp. 19)). The poet ‘Āşıḳ Yūnus lived in Bursa and died in the beginning of the 15th century [1400-1499 CE]. The fact that Yūnus Emre used adjectives such as “ ‘āşıḳ, miskīn, dervīş” to refer to himself resulted in the mixing of the poems attributed to the two poets. This is visible in a majority of the manuscripts.

Biographical notes

Nesīmī is an early Ottoman poet and mystic, famous for his Ḥurūfī worldview. He is believed to have come from Nesīm, near Baghdād. He was most likely of Turkoman origin, although his title of “Seyyid” also points to Arab blood. About 804 AH [1401 CE] he became a follower of Faḍl Allāh Ḥurūfī (d. 796/1394), whom he personally met, and eventually became his successor. After Faḍl Allāh’s death, he left Azerbaijan for Anatolia. He came to Bursa during the reign of Murād I (761-91/1360-89) and was not well received here. Ḥacı Bayram (d. 833/1430) refused to see him in Ankara. He eventually went to Aleppo, where he was flayed for his heretical views in 820 AH [1417 CE] (other dates are also given in the historical sources). Evliyā Çelebi (d. 1095/1684) mentions a lodge and a tomb for Nesīmī in this city. Nesīmī had Dīvāns in both Persian and Turkish, which he knew equally well, as well as possibly a Dīvān in Arabic which is no longer extant. His Turkish shows the characteristics of the Ādharī dialect. Nesīmī’s poetry focuses on Ḥurūfī teachings, the doctrine of the oneness of being, and the praise of the Twelve Imams. The latter aspect, in addition to his martyrdom, has led to the Alevi adoption of Nesīmī, who consider him as one of their seven great poets. Nesīmī also had an important historical role in the development of classical literature in Turkish, with his extensive use of complex images (maḍmūn).
