Notes	An Arabic work in which Şehabeddin İbn Arabşâh tells his own life. The copy in the Gotha Library (Gotha, Ms. Orient. A 94, fol. 62b-64a), which is pointed out as the only manuscript copy of the work, is included in a manuscript created by selecting some sections from Temîmî's (d. 1010/1601) work titled Tabakâtü's-Seniyye fî Terâcimi'l-Hanefiyye (Abdülfettah el-Hulv 1983: II/55-59). Ibn Arabshah, who was born into a family of scholars in the Damascus province of the Mamluks, wrote his autobiography in the ode form, using full rhyme in aruz meter and absolute rhyme. The 38-couplet part of the poem has survived to the present day in fragments. Although the original copy is not available, it is understood that most of Ukûdü'n-Nasîha was transferred to the layers of contemporary historians Ibn Tagrîberdî (d. 874/1469), Sehâvî (d. 902/1497) and Temîmî (d. 1010/1601). Ibn Arabshah himself wrote a commentary for this poetic autobiography. Temîmî recorded this comment as "Fî Commentary Kasîdetihî". Ibn Tagrîberdî and Sehâvî, while giving the biography of Ibn Arabşâh, conveyed some details that were not in the eulogy by making use of the commentary in question and also noted that they received permission from this text. The spread of Ukûdü'n-Nasîha as a text read and authorized in various scientific assemblies in Cairo of the period indicates that the text was written for the people of science. It makes you think. The work includes the life story of Ibn Arabshah, his scientific journeys, the lecture circles he attended and his teachers from the date of his birth. Especially the journeys of Ibn Arabshah, who left Samarkand after the death of Timur (1370-1405), for knowledge constitute a large part of the text. The poet turned his travels in the eastern provinces from Samarkand to the Chinese border to the west to attend the lecture circle of Bezzâzî (d. 827/1424) in Astrakhan. The author, who learned Turkish, Persian and Mongolian during these travels, records that he set out upon the invitation of Melik Zâhir Çakmak (1438-1453), and when he arrived in Edirne, he was appointed secret secretary and tutor of the princes by Çelebi Mehmed (1413-1421). After the death of Çelebi Mehmed, the author first went to Aleppo and then to Damascus. He stated that he attended the lectures of Alâeddîn el-Buhârî (d. 841/1438), wrote many of his works here, including Ukûdü'n-Nasîha, and came to Cairo after the death of his teacher and established close relations with prominent scientists and politicians. The poem is important in that it is included in many literary works of the period and is a poetic autobiography written in the early period. No study has been found on the existing copy of Ukûdü'n-Nasîha. For the biography of the poet, see. “İbn Arabşâh, Ahmed bin Muhammed bin Abdullah bin İbrâhîm bin Muhammed, Şehâbeddîn, Ebu’l-Abbâs, Acemî, Rûmî”. Turkish Literature Names Dictionary.
