Notes and Research

Old Words in the Text

  • vüzerâ: viziers
  • kethüdâ kâtibi: clerk who handles the writing business of the kethüda of the grand vizier or of a vizier

The Events of 1143 and an Exile

The event Hüsameddin calls the "calamity of 1143" is the Patrona rebellion of 1730; Ahmed III was deposed, and Grand Vizier Damad İbrahim Pasha and his sons-in-law were killed. Çelebi İbrâhim Bey's being "sent to Amasya" that year may be connected with this process; the book does not state the reason, and this is an inference.

The information that Çelebi İsmâil Pasha was a vizier of Amasya was found only in this book. No information on Çelebi İbrâhim Bey was found in any other source.
