Summary/Abstract: This study is about Ibn Melek and his family who were among the leading figures of the Beyliks era subsequent to the fall of the Anatolian Seljuk State. Having lived in 14th and 15th centuries in the Principality of Aydin, the members of this family dwelled in Birgi and Tire, the counties of İzmir in the current administrative division. Although this family lived in the Principality of Aydin, they also became highly influential in the scientific and intellectual life of Ottoman State which would later dominate the whole Anatolia. While the works written by Ibn Melek were studied in the Ottoman madrassas as textbooks, the works written by his brother, Abdulmecid Feriste, took their place as valuable sources of reference on the doctrine of Hurufism in the larger society. To that end, this study sheds light on the valuable historical experience of Ibn Melek and his family as significant historical figures, and the written works left by the members of this family are investigated.
