Ahmed Kara Hasari

874 / m. He was born in 1469 (?) in Afyon Karahisari. Although he is known as Ahmad Karahisari after his birthplace, his real name is Ahmad Shamsuddin. Having completed his primary education in his hometown, he went to Istanbul and became associated with Karamanli Isaac Cemaluddin Effendi, one of the elders of Halfeti. After he became the caliph, he turned to Sufism completely. It was the sheikh, one of Sheikh Hamdullah's disciples, who introduced Ahmed Karahisari to the line. Most likely, after taking his first writing lessons from him, he again learned Qalam al-Jalis from Asaadullah al-Kirmani. Although it is reported that he also benefited from Yahya Sofi, its accuracy is questionable. But he moved away from Sheikh Hamdallah, the greatest calligrapher in that period, and preferred to establish his own school. He succeeded in this also, and by becoming one of the calligraphers of the people of crafts, he created many works especially for Suleiman the Magnificent. On the other hand, especially because of his strength in religious writing, he also had inscriptions that would be used in the Merry buildings. It is known that the writings in the mosques of Hasaki, Mahramah Sultan and Shahzad, which are the works of Mimar Sinan, were written by him. Ahmed Karahisari, who preferred to spend his life in solitude because he was Tariq's family and a pious man, devoted all his attention and time to his art and after living a long life in 963/AD. He died in 1556. Perry Isaac was buried at the Jamaluddin Halfeti Inn in Sutloch.
