Biographical notes

Born in Tire, ʿAbdü’l-mecīd b. Firişte is an important figure in the dissemination of Hurufi teachings in both Anatolia and Rumelia, due to his Turkish translations of the works of Fażlallāh Astarābādī (d. 796/1394) , the founder of the Hurufi sect. His initiation to the Hurufiyya probably took place after Astarābādī’s execution in 796 AH [1394 CE]. In his work the Saʿādet-nāme, he reveals his genealogy, which ties him to Astarābādī via the latter’s disciple Shams al-dīn Muḥaqqiq and his disciple Bāyezīd, who is Firişteoġlı’s spiritual director. Firişteoġlı’s brother ʿAbdü’l-laṭīf b. Firişte (İbn-i Melek) (d. after 821/1418) is also a prolific author, famous for his dictionary known as the Luġat-ı Firişteoġlı, often confused with his brother ʿAbdü’l-mecīd’s dictionary the Luġat-ı Ḳānūn-ı İlāhī. Their father’s name is ʿAbdü’l-ʿazīz.
