Biographical notes

Cemāleddīn Meḥmed ibn Meḥmed el-Aḳsarāyī (ca. 1314-ca. 1389), a descendent of Fakhr al-Dīn al-Rāzī (d. 606/1210) according to Ottoman sources, was born in and died in Aksaray, a city under Karamanid rule at the time. Sometime in the 1350 [1350 CE]s or 1360 [1360 CE]s he was appointed qadi of Amasya and professor at the dār al-ʿilm(دارالعلم) madrasa of Amasya by the amīr(أمير) of Amasya, Ḥācı Şadgeldi Paşa (d. 1381)(حاجي شادکلدي پاشا). He was later appointed as the qadiʿaskar (kadıasker) (قاضي عسكر) of Amasya by Ḥācı Şadgeldi Paşa. At some point later in the 1370 [1370 CE]s he returned to the Karamanid realm and was appointed as the qadi of Aksaray by the Karamanid ruler ʿAlāʾeddīn Bey (علاءالدين بك), and professor (mudarris) at the Zincirli (Müselsile) Medrese in Aksaray. There is a difference of opinions regarding his death date: according to Ottoman sources, he died 791 AH [1388-1389 CE], whereas Brockelmann gives the date of 1377 [1377 CE]. Molla Fenārī (ملا فناري) studied with him before going to Egypt for further education. He is not to be confused with Cemālī el-Ḫalvetī el-Aḳsarāyī (d. 899/1493) (جمالي الخلوتي الاقسرايي), the author of some twenty works dealing with mystical topics, including a forty ḥadīth commentary.
