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

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).
