Özet:

Rızâî Mahmud Baba Efendi is a 16th-century mystic, philosopher, poet, and calligrapher. His closeness to Rüstem Pasha helped him achieve a coveted position in the palace, in addition to his remarkable talents in other sectors. Throughout his life, the effective influence he was able to maintain during the reigns of the three sultans earned him respect and fame. As a result, he drew the attention of both his contemporaries and later biographers, and he was cited as a significant figure in a variety of writings, ranging from poet biographies to ulema biographies and even to travel books. When Rzâî Mahmud Baba Efendi passed away in Cemaziyelahir 988/July 1580, Hoca Sadeddin Efendi was named as the guardian for all of his assets. This study will assess data from the endowment charter and waqfs he established, which have never been examined before.
