Biographical notes

15th century Sufi poet, Yūsuf Ḥaḳīḳī is the son of Şeyḫ Ḥamīdüddīn Aḳsarāyī (d. 815/1412-13), also known as Ṣomuncu Baba. His grandfather was Şeyḫ Şemseddīn Mūsā-i Ḳayserī. Yūsuf Ḥaḳīḳī’s grandfather was from Kayseri (Turkey) and his father lived in Bursa for some time. We do not know when Yūsuf Ḥaḳīḳī settled down in Aksaray (Turkey). He lived here until his death in 894 AH [1488-1489 CE]. Yūsuf Ḥaḳīḳī’s initiation to Ḥacı Bayram (d.833/1429-30) took place after his father’s death. He was the head of the Melīk Maḥmūd Ġāzī Ḫāngāhı when Aksaray was conquered by the Ottomans in 881 AH [1476-1477 CE].

Notes

A prose work which also contains some poetry. According to certain scholars, this work is a translation of Ṣadr al-Dīn Qūnawī (d. 673/ 1274-1275 )’s work of the same name into Turkish. A more recent study claims that it is a translation of Ḥāmidüddīn Aḳsarāyī (d. 815/1412-13)’s work on the aḳāʿid in Arabic. Yet due to a lack of information in bibliographical sources as well as an absence of early manuscripts, the attribution of works to Ḥāmidüddīn Aḳsarāyī (d. 815/1412-13) remains problematic. A third study claims that the work is a translation of a work by the same name by Aḫi Evran .
