- Biographical notes
- The son of a qadi born in the town of Simavna outside of Edirne sometime in the middle of 14th century [1300-1399 CE], Simavna Kadısı-oğlu Maḥmūd b. İsrāʾīl (usually known as Şeyh Bedreddīn) is portrayed in the menākıb-nāme (hagiography) composed by his grandson, Ḫalīl b. İsmāʿīl, as a descendant of the Seljuk sultan ʿAlāʾ al-Dīn Kayqubād I, a claim which in all likelihood is fictional. After studying in Bursa and Konya, Bedreddīn travelled to Syria and Egypt in the 1380s [1380 CE] where he became a favorite student of Mubarakshāh al-Manṭiqī (d. 816/1413) and classmate of Sayyid Jūrjānī. He became a disciple of the Sufi shaykh Ḥusayn al-Akhlatī who sent him to Tabriz where Timur had set up his court and held sessions with the most learned scholars of the day; he then traveled in Iran, furthering his knowledge of the esoteric. When he returned to Egypt he took up the post as tutor to the Mamluk Sultan Barquq’s son, Faraj. He became Akhlatī’s spiritual successor upon his death in Cairo in 1397 [1397 CE]. In around 1405 [1405 CE] he travelled to ru, spreading his esoteric doctrines and gaining disciples such as the Karamanid ruler and the Aydınid beg Cüneyd. After returning to Edirne, he was appointed qāḍīʿasker (chief military judge) to the Ottoman prince, Musa Çelebi, who in 1411 [1411 CE] declared his sovereignty during the last phase of the Ottoman civil war. When Musa Çelebi was defeated by his brother Mehmed I in 816 AH [1413 CE], Bedreddīn was exiled to İznik. After escaping detention in İznik in 819 AH [1416 CE], he led an unsuccessful uprising in Rumelia against Mehmed I and was executed by the Ottomans.

- Notes
- The first work written by Bedreddīn, the work was begun while he was still in Egypt according to Hacı Yunus Apaydın (and not in İznik as Kātib Çelebi and Taşköprizāde claim). It is most likely that he also completed while in Egypt, although there is a slight possibility he did so in Edirne sometime after 807 AH [1405 CE]. Adopting the structure of Aḥmad b. ʿAlī Ibn al-Sāʿātī al-Baʿalbakkī’s (d. 694 /1295)Majmāʿ al-Baḥrayn wa Multaqa al-Nayyirayn fī’l-Fiqh al-Ḥanafī, and referencing al-Mawsilī’s al-Mukhtār, Ḥāfiẓ al-Dīn al-Nasafī’s Kanz al-Daqā’iq and Tāj al-Sharīʿa Maḥmūd’s Wiqāya al-Riwāya fi Masāʾil al-Hidāya, this specialized work of law examines subtle fiqh differences (ikhtilāf). Grounded in the views of the founders of the Hanafi school, it compares diverse juristic opinions or perspectives within the Hanafi school, sometimes making comparisons with legal opinions from the other three schools. Bedreddīn examines certain legal problems not dealt with in his sources, and demonstates a deep legal knowledge as mujtahid. His exercise of ijtihad in this work has received both praise and criticism from his contemporaries and later Ottoman religious scholars. The work is always copied together with his commentary, al-Tashīl, and doesn’t exist on its own.
