Biographical notes

Eponym of the Bektāşīyye; most venerated saint of Alevism and Bektashism. In Manāqib al-‘ārifīn (مناقب العارفين) by Aflākī (افلاقي), the earliest work with information on Ḥacı Bektāş,Ḥacı Bektāş appears as a disciple of Baba Resūl (Baba İlyās) (d. 638/1240) ((بابا رسول (بابا اليا ), He is represented as a dervish who does not abide by the sharī‘a. ‘Āşıḳpaşazāde (عاشق پاشا زاده, on the other hand, states that Ḥacı Bektāş came to Sivas from Khurāsān with his brother Menteş. The two of them went to Kayseri, after which they parted and Menteş returned to Sivas, where he was soon killed. Ḥacı Bektāş settled down in the small village of Ḳarahöyük and adopted a women name Ḫātūn Ana (Ḳadıncıḳ Ana) ( (خاتون انا (قادنجق انا) as his spiritual daughter. Abdāl Mūsā (fl. 14th century) (ابدال موسى), a key figure in the dissemination of Ḥacı Bektāş's teaching, was Ḫātūn Ana's disciple. Several waqf records reported by scholars demonstrate that Ḥacı Bektāş was dead before 691 AH [1291-1292 CE]. Ḥacı Bektāş's date of death appears as 669 AH [1270-1271 CE] in collection of manuscripts bound in Sivas in 691 AH [1291 CE] as well as in a late copy of Ḥacı Bektāş's hagiography. Velāyet-nāme (ولايت نامه), Ḥacı Bektāş's legendary biography or hagiography, exists in both prose and verse versions. The earliest verse version is attributed to Firdevsī (فردوسي), mentioned in biographical dictionaries as Firdevsī-i Rūmī or Uzun Firdevsī (fl. 15th century) (فردوسي رومي/اوزن فردوسي). It can be deduced that both prose and verse versions of the Velāyet-nāme were written after the development of Bektāşī lore in the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries [1300-1499 CE], but before the institutionalization of the order by Balım Sulṭān (d. possibly 922/1516) (بالم سلطان). Considering the fact that the historical personages mentioned in the Velāyet-nāme also lived in the thirteenth century [1200-1299 CE], we can say that Ḥacı Bektāş might have met Ṭapduḳ Emre (fl. 13th century) (طبدق امره), Seyyid Maḥmūd-ı Ḥayrānī (d. 655/1257-58) (سيد محمود حيراني), Ṣarı Ṣaltuḳ (d. shortly after 700/1300) (صري صلطق), Aḫī Evrān (اخي اوران) (d. during the reign of Orḫān Ġāzī (اورخان غازي)) and Emīrci Sulṭān(d. 637/1240)(اميرجي سلطان). It is also possible that he sent one of his disciples to Jalāl al-Dīn Rūmī (d.672/1273)(جلال الدين رومي). A key figure in the Velāyet-nāme is Aḥmed Yesevī (d. first quarter of the 13th century) (احمد يسوي) , who appears to have close tie with Ḥacı Bektāş. Contrary to the studies by certain scholars, historical data indicates that Ḥacı Bektāş was not a direct disciple of either Aḥmed Yesevī, Baba İlyās (بابا الياس), or Quṭb al-Dīn Ḥaydar (fl. 12th century) (قطب الدين حيدر).Ḥacı Bektāş was not a Yesevī or Ḥaydarī dervish. He did, however, come to Anatolia from Khurāsān or Turkestan with strong Yesevī connections and led an independent path in this land.

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).
