- Biographical notes
- İbn Melek, a native of Tire (Turkey) during the Aydınid (Aydınoğulları) period, was a prolific author best known for his hadith and fiqh works which were taught in madrasas and survive in many manuscript copies. Having served as professor at the Tire (Turkey) at the madrasa built by Aydınoğlu Mübārizüddīn Meḥmed Beg (708/1308-733/1334) in the name of his father, ʿAbdülʿazīz Firişte, the qadı of Birgi, he composed primarily pedagogical works for madrasa instruction. His death date remains disputed, but be placed in the first quarter of the fifteenth century sometime after 821 AH [1418 CE]. İbn Melek’s brother (or son) ʿAbdülmecīd b. Firişte (d. 864/1459-60) was also a prolific author of mainly Hurufi works as well as a dictionary which is often misattributed to İbn Melek. İbn Melek’s son Meḥmed/Muḥammed also wrote a number of works in the same fields as his father, likewise using the name İbn Firişte or İbn Melek . As a result, there has been much confusion over which works belong to which family member.
