The
forms of politeness books, which were specific to the elite groups until the
19th century, have become works that are also accessible to the public with the
technical developments and Westernization movements. One of the works has
written before this period is Bülgatü’l-Ahbâb written by Balıkesirli Râsih. We
do not have enough information about his life despite the deep-rooted family of
Balıkesirli Râsih that also known as Râsih Ahmed Beg, who lived in the 17th and
18th centuries. Except from his repeated voiced ode which named “üstine” is
referred to him, the other works of him are not known well. One of these works
is Bülgatü’l-Ahbâb, a social and political book in which he discusses many
different subjects from manners to historical events. Bülgatü’l-Ahbâb, which
has never studied before, has many copies. In this study, it is aimed to give
information about Râsih and and his work Bülgatü’l-Ahbâb.
