Notes	11./17. Beyāżīzāde Aḥmed Efendi, a 19th century Ottoman scholar and bureaucrat, one being Muḥyīddīn el-Ḳuraşī's el-Cevāhiru'l-Muḍiyye and the other being Muṣliḥuddīn el-Amāsī's Maḫzenu'l-Fıḳh. The subject of this article is the lists of fuḳahāʾ-i Rūm, which he noted on the pages of vikaye and zahriye of two manuscripts. These lists, which show how the Anatolian fiqh tradition is read through Beyāżīzāde's eyes, confirm the fact that each manuscript copy should be evaluated uniquely. Beyāżīzāde; 8./14. and 12th/18th. He tried to list the people who lived between the 15th and 15th centuries, had the rank of Rūmī, belonged to the Ḥanafī sect, and wrote works in the Ḥanefī jurisprudence, and in this context, he included nearly sixty people in total in his lists. Although he mentioned similar names in the lists, he classified them in different ways according to variables such as late-early period, whether they were famous or not, whether they wrote works or not, whether they were scholars or not. The most striking feature of the lists is that Beyāżīzāde presents the jurists on the basis of Rūmī identity; As such, the lists also reveal a meaningful picture of how he perceives this identity. In this article, I first discussed the belonging of the lists to Beyāżīzāde and made predictions about the possible motives behind the creation of the lists. I converted the lists, which Beyāżīzāde originally wrote as a separate text, into tables and preserved the information he gave. In the footnotes, I made complementary evaluations regarding the accuracy of Beyāżīzāde's information about the names on the lists. In the last heading, I tried to identify the specific criteria that Beyāżīzāde observed when creating the lists, taking into account the names he included or excluded from the lists. In the conclusion, I discussed in outline what the concepts of Rūm/Rūmī might correspond to in Beyāżīzāde's mental world.
