Texts Attributed to Qara Khalil Efendi, Jalaladdin Rumi’s Contemporary, in Manuscript Repositories

Abstract

We have not found any information in the sources regarding the date of birth of Khalil bin Hasan bin Muhammad al-Birgali (1123/1711) al-Rumi al-Hanafi al-Ghazi, the son of Birgali Hasan bin Muhammad and known by the nickname Qara Khalil Efendi. One of the Ottoman scholars, Qara Khalil Efendi is remembered with the names Rumi, Hanafi, Birgali, Aydini and Tirali. Information about his works is provided in a number of authoritative sources. Examples of these sources include: “Ottoman scholars” by Muhammad Tahir Bursali, “Hadiyyatul arifin” by Ismail Pasha Baghdadi, “al-Alam” by Khairaddin Zirikli, “Mojam muallifin” by Omar Riza Kehali, etc. Gara Khalil Efendi wrote a footnote to the work “Jihatul-vahidah” by the 16th-century Azerbaijan scholar Muhammad Amin Sadraddin al-Shirvani Mollazadeh Aghdashi (1036/1626) and called it “Hashiya ala Muhammad Amin”. The work is about logic. We have discovered yet two old printed copies of this work at the Institute of Manuscripts named after Muhammad Fuzuli of the Academy of Sciences of Azerbaijan. These copies are protected under the codes XVI-1692; V-526. Both books were published in Istanbul in 1288/1871 at the “Amira” printing house. On the first page of the V-526 cipher printed book, the phrase “Rajab month 1292/1875, Abdulghani” is written in black ink. Therefore, this book is from the collection of Abdulghani Efendi Nukhavi Khalisagarizadeh. Shamsaddin Muhammad bin Hamza al-Fanari (751-834/1350-1430) wrote a commentary on the work “Isaghuji” by Azerbaijan scholar Asraddin Mufaddal bin Omar al-Abhari (663/1265) and called it “Sharh al-Risala al-Isaghuji”. Some sources have given the name of this commentary as “al-Fawaid al-Fanariyya”. Qara Khalil Efendi wrote a footnote to this commentary and called it “Hashiya Qara Khalil ala al-Fanari”. Two old printed copies of the work “Hashiya Qara Khalil ala al-Fanari” are preserved at the Institute of Manuscripts of ANAS under the following codes: XVI-1789 and V-422, the copy coded XVI-1789 was printed in 1307/1889 at the “Sinaya” printing house in Istanbul. The copy coded V-422 was printed in 1874 at the “Haji Muharram Efendi Busnavi” printing house in Istanbul. On the first page of the book, the phrase Haji Abdullah Ibn al-Imam al-Nukhawi is written in black ink. This means that this book was also from the collection of Abdulghani Efendi Nukhawi Khalisagarizadeh.

Evaluation Process
Academic studies submitted to the Journal of Scientific Mysticism and Literature are primarily pre-evaluated by the editorial board in compliance with the journal's focus and scope. The suitable studies are then transferred to the field editor and sent to the double referee for field evaluation. The double-masked peer review application is valid, and the referee cannot see the information of the academic study owners. Reviewers are given 30 days to complete their review for formality and originality.
As a result of the reports from the referees:
1. Accepting the application (no editing needed),
2. Minor editing required (Author will be accepted if they make the minor corrections specified),
3. Major editing required (Author will be accepted if they make the essential corrections indicated),
3. Reject application (if the writing is substandard)
It must specify one of its options. In case of an "accept the application" or a "reject the application" evaluation from the
referees, the article is sent to a third referee to be examined for formality and originality. Then, all evaluations on the subject are sent to the author. A stylistic change may be requested if the language or writing style is substandard. The editorial board makes the final decision regarding the publication of the studies.
Authors are advised to download and review all evaluation forms (form and content pre-evaluation, field editor, and referee forms) used by the journal to guide them while writing their article proposals.
Before the author receives final approval for their articles, they must complete the commitment or declaration of originality form (Form 1.a) and send it to the journal editor.
