Amasyalıdır. Köprü’de câmi’ ve emâreti olan Tâceddîn İbrâhim Paşa’nın birâderi el-Hâc Süleyman Bey bin Safî Çelebi bin Gâzi Mehmed Bey bin Alâeddîn Ali bin İbrâhim eş-Şirvânî mahdûmu ve Kazasker Tâcî Beyzâde Ca’fer Çelebi’nin ammizâdesidir.
Amcası Tâceddîn Paşa nezdinde terbiye ve tahsîl gördü. Şehzâde Sultân Ahmed’in ma’iyet-i ümerâsından olup 918’de bir müddet menkûb oldu. 921’de kazasker Ca’fer Çelebi ile İstanbul’a gidip mîr-livâlıkla kayrıldı. Devr-i bilâd ederek 940 hudûdunda vefât etdi.
He was a native of Amasya. He was the son of el-Hâc Süleyman Bey, brother of Tâceddîn İbrâhim Pasha, who has a mosque and an imaret in Köprü; Süleyman Bey was the son of Safî Çelebi; he was the son of Gâzî Mehmed Bey; he was the son of Alâeddîn Ali; and he in turn was the son of İbrâhim eş-Şirvânî. He was the son of the paternal uncle of the kazasker Tâcî Beyzâde Ca'fer Çelebi.
He was raised and educated at the side of his uncle Tâceddîn Pasha. He was one of the beys in the retinue of Prince Sultan Ahmed and in 918 [1512-13] was for a time wronged. In 921 [1515-16] he went to Istanbul with the kazasker Ca'fer Çelebi and was favored with a mirlivalık [sanjak governorship]. Traveling around various parts of the land, he died around 940 [1533-34].
The uncle in the text is the man who had the Tâceddîn İbrâhim Pasha Mosque built in Merzifon. The mosque is on Kunduracı Street in the Gazimahbub quarter; its waqf deed is dated 1495, and the building is thought to have been built before 1494. It is a square-plan, single-domed building. Its cut-stone minaret was damaged down to the balcony level in the earthquake of 1941 and remained closed until the 1970s. The mosque was repaired in 1975 and 2020 and is owned by the General Directorate of Foundations. The Pasha Bath is also mentioned as part of the same complex. Hüsameddin's "in Köprü" and modern sources' pointing to Merzifon differ from each other; what the place name in the text corresponds to did not become clear in this research.
The date 918 coincides with the year Prince Ahmed was defeated by Selim; some of the beys in Ahmed's retinue were removed from office in this period. Süleyman Bey's son's being favored with a mirlivalık took place in 1515-16 through the intercession of the kazasker Ca'fer Çelebi. Tâcîzâde Câfer Çelebi is a scholar named among the students of Hatîbzâde Muhyiddîn Efendi.
The genealogy consisting of Gâzi Mehmed Bey, İbrâhim eş-Şirvânî and Safî Çelebi could not be found in any other source. No additional information was found on the lives of Süleyman Bey and his son either.
