Özet:

 Shaykh al-Islām Reʾīs-zāde Mustafā Āshir Efendi stands out among the 18th-century Ottoman statesmen with his identity as a scholar, artist, and philanthropist. A member of a highly versatile scholarly family, Āshir Efendi inaugurated the library that his father had planned to establish in Istanbul in the year 1800. The books in the Āshir Efendi Library were transferred in 1918 to the Süleymāniyye Library, where they were made accessible under the Āshir Efendi and Reisül-Küttāb collections. The manuscript album registered with inventory number 00014M in the Āshir Efendi Collection constitutes the subject of this study. Comprising a total of thirteen ijāza-nāmas certificates of Islamic calligraphic authorization dated 1749twelve written in thuluth-naskh and one in jalī thuluth scriptthis album is significant in that it offers the opportunity to examine both Āshir Efendis connection to his calligraphic lineage and the aesthetic features of 18th-century Islamic calligraphy, illumination, and marbling paper art together. The scope of the research is limited solely to the album registered under collection number 00014M. The aim of this study is to examine the Islamic calligraphy diplomas ijāza-nāmas contained in this murakkaʿ attributed to Āshir Efendi in terms of script types, the content of the certification texts, and the materials used; and to analyze the ornamental elements in terms of color, pattern, and composition, thereby providing data on the artistic taste of the period.

 Şeyhülislam Reiszâde Mustafa Âşir Efendi, Osmanlı döneminin 18. yüzyıl devlet adamları arasında âlim, sanatkâr ve hayırsever kimliği ile dikkat çekmektedir. Çok yönlü bir ulemâ ailesinin mensubu olan Âşir Efendi, babasının İstanbulda kurmayı planladığı kütüphaneyi 1800 yılında hizmete açmıştır. Âşir Efendi Kütüphanesindeki eserler 1918 yılında Süleymaniye Kütüphanesine aktarılmış, burada Âşir Efendi ve Reisülküttab koleksiyonlarında erişime sunulmuştur. Âşir Efendi Koleksiyonundaki 00014M envanter numaralı murakka bu araştırmanın konusunu oluşturmaktadır. On ikisi sülüs-nesih, biri celî sülüs olmak üzere 1749 tarihli toplam on üç icâzetnâmeden oluşan bu murakka, hem Âşir Efendinin hat silsilesiyle ilişkisini hem de 18. yüzyıl hat, tezhip ve ebru sanatlarının estetik özelliklerini bir arada değerlendirme imkânı sağlaması bakımından önem arz etmektedir. Araştırmanın kapsamı, 00014M koleksiyon numaralı murakka ile sınırlı tutulmuştur. Çalışmanın amacı, Âşir Efendiye âit bu murakkada yer alan hat icâzetnâmelerini; yazı türleri, icâzet metinlerinin muhtevası, kullanılan malzeme bakımından değerlendirip, tezyînî unsurların renk, desen ve kompozisyonu açısından inceleyerek dönemin sanat zevkine dâir veri sunmaktır.
