BIHISTÎ RAMAZAN EFENDİ (FROM VIZE) AND HIS THEOLOGICAL WORLD

Bihistî Ramazan Efendi was born in Vize and was a preacher and sheikh in Çorlu. Bihistî who has been famous for his sophistication and poetry accordingly is seemed to have only one work as a footnote named Hâşiyetu'l-Hâşiye alâ Şerhi Akâidi'n-Nesefîyye li'l-Hayâlî (Footnote on Footnote of Commentary of Nesefy Aqaid of al-Hayaly). This footnote that bears all the features of "the explanation and footnote era" was the most demanded one among footnotes of Hayali and was printed several times together with the alhayali footnote. In this article we will study the footnote of Bihisti who locates himself in Maturidi tradition and the world of thought of him who also had sufistic sides and we will also focus on his thelogy in his aforementioned footnote.
