Notes	Ahi Evren Sheikh Nasîrü'd-dîn Mahmud el-Hoyî, who lived in the Anatolian Seljuk period, was the master of tanners/leathersmiths, was one of the versatile scholars of his time, known as Danişmend-i Rûmî, and was the chief architect of the Ahî organization. It can be said that Ahi Evren is a strong thinker with his twenty-five works and his organizational skills. In addition to being an organizational public philosopher, he is also a strong thinker and action person. The author, who is a versatile and versatile writer, did not mention his name in any of his works, and he took care to keep his name secret in his works due to his understanding and humility of keeping the good deeds of the Melâmet branch, to which he subscribed, secret. For this reason, some of his works were tried to be attributed to other people, and it is understood that manuscript copies of some of them have survived to this day as anonymous works (Bayram 1991: 66). In his work, which is one of Ahi Evren's unnamed works and is called Menahic-i Seyfî, he tried to reveal the fundamentals of faith and the Islamic religion according to the Ash'ari sect in belief and the Shafi'i sect in deeds. Ahmet Ateş previously introduced this work as an anonymous work in his article titled "Some important manuscripts in Konya Libraries". As a result of the research, it was understood that it was one of the works of Ahi Evren (Bayram 1995: 76). In the preface of his work, the author states that he dedicated it to Seyfü'd-dîn Tuğrul, the Emir of Kırşehir, with whom he had a friendship bond, and says that the work consists of an introduction, five menâhic and a hatime. In the introduction section, it gives information about the creation of man. Later, the work was examined in five methods (minhacda). First minhajj; It contains information about the parts of faith and consists of five temhid (preparation) stages. First, to know God; second, to know the attributes of Allah; third, God's actions; fourth, prophethood; The fifth is about the afterlife. Second minhaj; It is about the etiquette of ablution and cleansing and consists of five tamhîd. First, the virtue of cleanliness, internal and external cleanliness; second, the etiquette of dispelling need; third, the etiquette of ablution; fourth, the etiquette of ghusl; The fifth is about tayammum and masah. Third minhaj; It is about the pillars and etiquette of prayer and consists of four tamhîd. First, the virtues of obligatory prayers; second, the rakats of the prayer; third, the appearance of prayer; The fourth is about the conditions of prayer. Fourth minhajj; It is about the etiquette and secrets of fasting and is divided into three tamhids. First, the virtues of fasting; second, explaining the degrees of fasting; The third is about the obligations and sunnahs of fasting. Fifth minutehach; It is about dhikr and prayer and is divided into three tamhîd. First, the virtue of the word tawhid and the secret of dhikr; second, the secret of prayers based on narration; The third is about the prayers of the prophets. The Hatime section is about the deeds that must be done in worldly life (Ahi Evren 660/1262: 298a-318a vr.; Bayram 1995: 81-82). The work, written in Persian, contains verses of the Quran and Arabic phrases, and these are written in red ink. Eser, Ali b. Süleyman b. It was copied by Yunus in Denizli (Ladik) in 660/1262. As a result of the research, three copies of the work were obtained. These copies are not separate, but are included in the magazines. These; 1. Süleymaniye Library Halet Efendi Section Nr. 92 is between sheets 1b-32a. 2. Süleymaniye Library Fatih Section Nr. 5426 is between sheets 298a-318a. 3. Bursa Antiquities Library, H.
