In Modern English

He is the son of Abdîzâde Seyyid Şeyh Ali Efendi, sheikh of the Darphaneci Tekke in Amasya, former deputy of the nakîbüleşraf, madrasa professor and historian of Amasya. Since he was known as Seyyid Hacı Rüşdü Ahmed Efendi, his biography comes below under the letter "râ".

Notes and Research

Old Words in the Text

  • nakîbü'l-eşrâf: the official who kept the registers of the seyyids and sharifs, that is, the descendants of the Prophet, and looked after their affairs; the kâ'im-makâm is his deputy
  • müverrih: historian
  • tercemesi: his life story, his biography

Place of the Entry

This entry is a cross-reference. Because the book names the man not as Ahmed but as Rüşdü Ahmed Efendi, it leaves the actual biography to the letter "R" in the alphabetical order. Abdîzâde Seyyid Şeyh Ali Efendi, named in the entry, is described as a historian of Amasya. It is striking that the author of the book also bears the name Abdîzâde; the relationship between them cannot be understood from this entry. No information was found in other sources about the Darphaneci Tekke.
