Born a subject of Safavid Iran, probably in Baku, he left Iran on pilgrimage as a youth, studied in Cairo, and entered Ottoman service in Constantinople under the patronage of the Köprülü family. He served five times as Reis ül-Küttab (chief of scribes) and held senior posts in the financial administration. He was one of the largest private collectors of Arabic manuscripts of his time; more than a thousand manuscripts bearing his ownership notes have been identified in libraries around the world.",
