Biographical notes

The pen-name of Cemālī is also used by Sufi poet Meḥmed Cemāleddīn (d. 1164/1744), which may result in a confusion of the two in mecmū‘a and cönk collections. In many of these the same pen-name also appears for Cemāl-i Ḫalvetī (d.899/1494), again leading to a possible confusion.

Cemālī is the nephew of famous court poet Şeyḫī (d. 832/1428-9).He may have also been called Şeyḫoġlı Cemālī or Şeyḫoġlı, leading to his confusion with the poet Şeyḫoġlı (d. after 803/1401-- before 812/1409). His date of birth is unknown. However it is generally accepted that he was born around 813-815 [1410-1412 CE], inferred from the estimation that he was around the age of twenty when he wrote an appendum to Şeyḫī’s Ḫusrev ü Şīrīn. Cemālī was most probably from Karaman, although he may also have been from Bursa. In addition to the nisba of el-Aḳşehrī, the nisba of el-Aḳsarāyī also appears in some manuscripts. Both towns indicate a Karamanid origin. Cemālī may have received his education in the Germiyān Beylik (Kütahya), the home town of his uncle Şeyḫī. Poems in Arabic and Persian in his Dīvān show that he was well-educated and versed in these languages. He may also have been a musician. A number of inscriptions in Bursa composed by Cemālī indicate that he may have spent part of his life in this city. Cemālī moved to Istanbul during the reign of Meḥmed II. His Dīvān includes several poems in praise of the conquest of Constantinople.Cemālī’s own reference to his old age at the time of his participation in the siege of Albania (Siege of Shkodra) in 883 AH [1478 CE] is our only definite source to the last years of his life. Cemālī’s Dīvān abounds in poetry dedicated to Meḥmed II to whom his other works are also dedicated, but no reference is made anywhere to Bāyezīd II. In contrast to the statements found in biographical dictionaries, where Cemālī is shown to have lived to the end of the reign of Bāyezīd II, we must thus conclude that he probably died at the end of the reign of Meḥmed II or in the early years of the reign of Bāyezīd II. In Osmanlı Müellifleri it is stated that his grave is located near the lodge of Emīr Buḫārī outside of Edirnekapı.

Biographical notes

Famous Ottoman court poet active during the reigns of Meḥmed II and Bāyezīd II. Born probably in Edirne (Adrianople), Aḥmed Paşa was the son of the ḳāḍī ʿasker Velīyyü’d-dīn b. İlyās. He served as mudarris at the madrasa of Murād II in Bursa, and as ḳāḍī of Edirne. After the ascension of Meḥmed II, he became ḳāḍī ʿasker, the ruler’s tutor, and finally, vizier. After his fall from grace with the sultan, Aḥmed Paşa was briefly in custody, or possibly imprisoned. He was later pardoned and appointed as mütevellī of the madrasas of Orḫān and Murād in Bursa. He subsequenty served as sancaḳ beyi of Sultanönü, Tire and Ankara. After the ascension of Bāyezīd II, he was appointed as sancaḳ beyi of Bursa. He died in Bursa in 902 AH [1496-1497 CE]. Aḥmed Paşa’s fame and poetry spread all through Anatolia, Rumelia and beyond during his lifetime. He was imitated by many 15th century [1400-1499 CE] and 16th century [1500-1599 CE] poets. Bibliographical dictionaries describe him as the greatest Ottoman poet to have lived between the days of Şeyḫī and Necātī.
