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.

شرح طوالع الانوار في علم الكلام

Notes

Dedicated to Aydınoğlu ʿİsā Bey in 780-81 [1379 CE], Ḥācı Paşa’s Ḥāshiya al-ṭawāliʿ al-anwār fī ʿilm al-kalām (Commentary on the Rays of Dawnlight according to the Science of Dialectal Theology) explicates the Ilkhanid scholar Nāṣir al-Dīn al-Bayḍāwī (d. 716/1316)’s theological work, Ṭawāliʿ al-anwār wa maṭāliʿ al-anẓār (طوالع الانوار و مطالع الانظار) (Rays of Dawnlight and the Ascent of Reasoning), a summation of the scholastic Ashʿarite theology underlying his famous Qurʾānic commentary, Anwār al-tanzīl wa asrār al-taʾwīl (انوار التنزيل و اسرار التأويل) (The Illuminations of Revelation and the Secrets of Interpretation). A note at the end of the earliest surviving manuscript dated 1383 [1383 CE] informs us that, following its completion, Ḥācı Paşa gave a public reading of the work in Ayasuluk in Muḥarram 781 [1379-05 CE].
