Is an XVIII. century calligraphist. It can be ascertained that he was a good calligrapher
from his works. Afif Damadı (son-in-law) Osman Efendi was married to the daughter, Emetullah
Hanım (?-1770), of another XVIII. century calligraphist Afif İbrahim Efendi (?-1768)
and because of this he used to pen his works in the name of his father-in-law and was subsequently
always known in the world of calligraphy as “Afif Damadı Osman Efendi or Afif
Damadı Deli Osman.” With the publication of these records new facts have come to light
with regard to Deli Osman Efendi. It is not known how long he was married to Emetullah
Hanım for. However given that Emetullah Hanımla died 36 years before Deli Osman Efendi,
it cannot be supposed that they had a long married life. Despite this, perhaps because of his
wife or because of the deep love and respect he felt for his father-in-law, Deli Osman Efendi
kept the memory of Afif İbrahim Efendi alive by always penning his works in his name.
