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.

Notes

This work is an epitome of Ḥācı Paşa’s earlier work, Shifāʾ al-Asqām, employing the same organization divided into four qawl or discourses, but with one third of the content. Ḥācı Paşa composed the work in 800 AH [1397-1398 CE], almost a decade after the Ottoman conquest of the region from the Aydınids. In 1507 [1507 CE] the work was translated into Turkish for Bayezid II.
