Abstract	:	Ayas Mehmed (Ayās Meḥmed) Paşa (b. c. 886–7/1482, d. 946/1539) was an Ottoman statesman and grand vizier in the reign of Süleyman (Süleymān) I (r. 926–74/1520–66). Born in Himarë (Ott. Khīmāre), on the southern coast of Albania, he was recruited into the Ottoman service through the devşirme (the system of “collecting” Christian boys from villages in the Balkans and Anatolia, converting them to Islam, and training them for military or administrative functions) in the period of Bayezid (Bāyezīd) II (r. 886–918/1481–1512).
