- Famous Ottoman court poet active during the reigns of Meḥmed II and Bāyezīd II. Born probably in Edirne (Adrianople), Aḥmed Paşa was the son of the ḳāḍī ʿasker Velīyyü’d-dīn b. İlyās. He served as mudarris at the madrasa of Murād II in Bursa, and as ḳāḍī of Edirne. After the ascension of Meḥmed II, he became ḳāḍī ʿasker, the ruler’s tutor, and finally, vizier. After his fall from grace with the sultan, Aḥmed Paşa was briefly in custody, or possibly imprisoned. He was later pardoned and appointed as mütevellī of the madrasas of Orḫān and Murād in Bursa. He subsequenty served as sancaḳ beyi of Sultanönü, Tire and Ankara. After the ascension of Bāyezīd II, he was appointed as sancaḳ beyi of Bursa. He died in Bursa in 902 AH [1496-1497 CE]. Aḥmed Paşa’s fame and poetry spread all through Anatolia, Rumelia and beyond during his lifetime. He was imitated by many 15th century [1400-1499 CE] and 16th century [1500-1599 CE] poets. Bibliographical dictionaries describe him as the greatest Ottoman poet to have lived between the days of Şeyḫī and Necātī.
