Notlar	Hasan Kāfī al-Aqhisārī was born in Bosnia-Aqhisar, during the reign of Sultan Suleiman the Magnificent, in the month of Ramadan, 951 Hijri (November/ December 1544). After completing his education in Istanbul and Chatalca, he returned to his hometown and spent the rest of his life engaging in judicial and teaching activities in Aqhisar and its surrounding areas. He wrote texts and commentaries on logic, rhetoric, principles of jurisprudence and creed, some of which are still being taught today as introductory materials. He gained a well-deserved reputation among the ulema with these texts and commentaries in accordance with the madrasa curriculum, and among the umāra with his famous work Usūl al-hikam fī nizām al-ālam on the order of state and society, which he presented to Mehmed III. During the 13-year Ottoman-Austrian wars (1593-1606), Aqhisārī served as a qādī in the region and established close relations with the mighty pashas of the Ottoman Empire who came to the region during this turbulent period. In this paper, we focus on the self-narrative of Hasan Kāfī al-Aqhisārī, the most renowned scholar of Bosnia-Aqhisar. The subject revolves around his work titled Nizām al-ulamā ilā khātam al-anbiyā, which is dedicated to Damat Ibrahim Pasha. The paper attempts to convey his life, teachers, authored works, important events he witnessed, relationships with the state dignitaries, and his feelings and thoughts about them in his own words. Aqhisārī died in 1024 (1615). In addition to this work, which contains the narrative of his life up to 1009 (1600), an attempt has been made to create a complete chronology of his life and works by considering the information he gave at the beginning and end of his other works regarding the rest of his life.
