Notes
This Arabic tafsīr or Qurʾān commentary was originally produced for the education of the Candarid ruler İsfendiyār b. Bāyezīd’s son, Tāceddīn İbrāhīm Beg, f.1440s, in 808 AH [1405 CE]. It is accompanied by an interlinear Turkish translation, glossed over each line of the Arabic text. There is disagreement among scholars as to whom the author of this work is. Some believe that it was compiled by a certain ʿAlāʾeddīn Efendī, 1374 originally from Nukhara. Abdulkerim Abdulkadiroğlu disagrees with this attribution, and argues that the author is a certain Şeyḫ el-Ḥāc Muṣṭafā, the grandson of Şeyḫ ʿAbdülfettāh Velī, d. 1272, founder of the Yılanlı Dergah, or dervish lodge, in Kastamonu.
Anatolia, most likely in the Black Sea region, possibly in Kastamonu
