Amasya ulemâsından Abdullah Efendi’nin mahdûmudur. Uzun Müderris Mehmed Efendi’den ikmâl-i tahsîl edib ders-i âm-ı meşhûr oldu. Medâris-i ma’lûmeye müderris olup Yörgüç Paşa müderrisliğinden kadı oldu.
Ba’dehû Çankırı, Sivas gibi bilâdı devrederek 1087’de mütekâ’id oldu. 1088 senesi evâhirinde vefât etdi. Fâzıl, ulûm-ı şer’iyye ve akliyyede kâmil, gâyet fakîh, tefsîr ve hadîse vâkıf idi.
He was the son of Abdullah Efendi, one of the scholars of Amasya. He completed his studies under Uzun Müderris Mehmed Efendi and became a renowned teacher of general lectures. He served as a madrasa professor in the well-known madrasas and became a kadı from the professorship of the Yörgüç Pasha Madrasa.
Afterward, traveling through cities such as Çankırı and Sivas, he retired in 1087. He died at the end of 1088. He was a man of virtue, accomplished in the religious and rational sciences, a highly perceptive jurist, and possessed of knowledge of Qur'anic exegesis and hadith.
The place from which this man moved from professorship to judgeship is the Yörgüç Pasha Madrasa. The madrasa was part of the complex of buildings attached to the Yörgüç Pasha Mosque in Amasya. According to the TDV İslâm Ansiklopedisi, the mosque was built by Atabeg Yörgüç Pasha in 834 (1430), according to the inscription over its door. The mosque belongs to the group of tabhane (zâviye) buildings; it has no last-congregation porch. The section east of the mosque entrance is thought to have been the lecture hall of the madrasa, which has not survived. To its west is a tomb containing four marble sarcophagi belonging to Yörgüç Pasha and his family. Because it stands on the bank of the Yeşilırmak, it was badly damaged by floods, and its interior has been entirely renewed. That is, the madrasa in which Ahmed Efendi served no longer exists, while its mosque still stands.
The "Uzun Müderris Mehmed Efendi" in the text may be the same person as Fâzıl Mehmed Efendi son of Sinan, nicknamed "Uzun Müderris" in entry no. 548; the book does not state this match explicitly. Other scholars in Amasya also bore the nickname "Uzun Müderris"; indeed Hacı Süleyman Efendi (d. 1192/1778-79), who lived in the 18th century, is called so. For this reason a link between the man in this entry and the other is possible, but not certain.
No information on this man was found in other sources. The duration and order of the judgeships in Çankırı and Sivas are known only from Hüsameddin.
