Amasya‘da câmii olan Çeribaşı Emîneddîn Mehmed Çelebi evlâdından el-Hâc Hasan Çelebi bin İsa Çelebi bin Mehmed Çelebi bin Ali Çelebi bin Abdullah Bey bin emîr-i kebîr Emîneddîn Mehmed Çelebi mahdûmudur.
Mahallemiz bulunan Çeribaşı Mahallesi eşrâfından Vecdî Câmii vakfına mütevellî olduğu halde 990 hudûdunda vefât etdi. Oğulları Ali, Hasan Çelebilerdir. Amasya‘da [269] Mütevellîzâdeler bunun neslidir.
He was a descendant of Çeribaşı Emîneddîn Mehmed Çelebi, who has a mosque in Amasya, and the son of Hacı Hasan Çelebi; Hasan Çelebi was the son of İsa Çelebi, İsa Çelebi the son of Mehmed Çelebi, Mehmed Çelebi the son of Ali Çelebi, Ali Çelebi the son of Abdullah Bey, and Abdullah Bey the son of the great emir Emîneddîn Mehmed Çelebi.
A notable of the Çeribaşı Quarter, which is our own quarter, he was trustee (mütevelli) of the waqf of the Vecdî Mosque and died around 990 [1582]. His sons are Ali and Hasan Çelebi. In Amasya [269] the Mütevellîzâdes are his descendants.
According to the description of the quarters that Hüsameddin gives in the first volume of the work, the Çeribaşı Quarter lies on the northern slope of Karakaya, in the place formerly called Sungur Mülkü. It is bounded on the east by the Acem Ali quarter, on the west by Devehâne, on the north by Bozahâne and on the south by Şehreküstü. The quarter took its name because Çeribaşı Emîneddîn Mehmed Çelebi, one of the leading begs in the time of Devâtdâr Ahmed Pasha, who followed the Amasya emir Şadgeldi Pasha, settled here and had a mescid built. The mosque's dated stone has been torn out and its waqf deed could not be found. From the witnesses of a waqf deed Hüsameddin infers that Emîneddîn was alive in 793 [1391] and concludes that the building was erected around that time. This is the book's own inference; there is no direct document for the date of the building. He likens the mosque to the Saraçhane Mosque and finds it worth investigating that the dated stones of both were torn out.
Hüsameddin writes that Emîneddîn's descendants served as trustees of the mosque for about four hundred years. Mütevellîzâde Hacı Halil Ağa added a minaret on the east side in 1197 [1783], and Mütevellîzâde Hacı Ahmed Efendi, mufti of Amasya, installed a minbar in 1118 [1706-07] and enlarged the waqfs, but afterwards the waqf properties were lost and only cash waqfs remained. In 1281 [1864-65] Ziya Pasha, the mutasarrıf of Amasya, had the mosque repaired, and when the dome leaked again, in 1309 [1891-92] Hüsameddin's father Abdîzâde Hacı Mehmed Ağa had a protective plaster covering made over it. Hüsameddin calls this quarter "our quarter," indicating that it was his own.
A study of the Halveti lodges places the Nuhoğlu Lodge east of the Çeribaşı Quarter, around the present Çeribaşı Mosque. The site was a madrasa built in 1704 by Mütevellizâde Hacı Ahmed Efendi, mufti of Amasya; when the madrasa burned in 1730 and its waqfs were lost, Mütevellizâde Hacı Ali Ağa had a Halveti lodge built in its place, and the lodge was given the name of Nuh Efendi because he was preacher of the Çeribaşı Mosque. The lodge burned in 1808 and was not repaired.
"Çeribaşı" is the title of a military officer in the Ottoman state; according to the TDV entry, sipahi çeribaşıs were the commanders of a nahiye, responsible for the security of the district and for raising troops in time of campaign. Where Emîneddîn Mehmed Çelebi exercised this office is not written in Hüsameddin.
No mosque by the name "Vecdî Mosque" appears in the other entries of the work. Since the main mosque of the Çeribaşı Quarter is the Çeribaşı Mosque, it could not be determined whether this is another name for the same building or a separate building.
The text says that the Mütevellîzâdes of Amasya descend from this İlyâs Çelebi. In Hüsameddin's other entries the Mütevellîzâde family is mentioned under names such as İlyâs Çelebi, Ali Ağa, İsa Çelebi and İlyâs Ağa, and Ahmed Efendi, son of İlyâs Ağa, who died around 1081, later became mufti of Amasya. The chains do not fully agree across the entries: İlyâs Ağa's father appears in one entry as İsa Çelebi and in another as Ahmed Çelebi. For this reason the link between İlyâs Çelebi, who died around 990, and the later generations could not be established fully from the records in the book.
