A physician and author in the service of several rulers, including the Germiyanid Yaʿḳūb Beg of Kütahya, and the Ottoman sultans, Meḥmed I and Murad II. He spent the latter part of his life in Bursa. He has been confused with his contemporary, Maḥmūd b. Muḥammed Dilşad Şükrullâh Şirvānī, author Murādnāme and Tarīḫ-i İbn Kesīr Tercümesi, and has been dubiously attributed with these following works: Kemāliyye, Bāhnāme Tercümesi and Harīdetü’l-Acā’ib ve Cerīdetü’l-Garā’ib Tercümesi.

Notes
Dedicated to Meḥmed I, this medical work of 14 chapters deals with the preservation of health (regimen sanitatis). This was a popular genre of medical literature in both the medieval Islamic and Christian world. Rooted in Greek humoral theory, it discusses how to keep in check the six non-naturals (air, food and drink, exercise and rest, sleeping and waking, repletion and excretion, and passions and emotions) through a moderate lifestyle and proper hygiene in order to prevent illness.
