| Abstract

:
|
Mehmed Mecdi (Meḥmed Mecdī, d. 999/1591), an Ottoman prose writer, poet, and biographer, was born into an ulema (ʿulamāʾ) family in Edirne, and his father’s name was Abdullah (ʿAbdullāh). Due to his ulema origins, Mecdi was commonly referred to with the honorific Çelebi. He became an assistant to one of the leading scholars of the period, Kaf Ahmed (Qāf Aḥmed) Çelebi (d. 961/1554), and quickly rose to prominence among his fellows. Interested in literature, Mecdi wrote poetry and critiques of the Arabic and Persian works he read.
