Bursa is one of the richest cities in terms of vefeyatnâmes written during the Ottoman period. It is known that the authors of the veyatnâme had a significant impact on the richness of the religious-mystical life of the city, which has been formed over the centuries, reaching the present day. Since the life stories of the people who direct the artistic life of the city, especially the administrators, teachers and sufis, are included in the vefayetnâmes, these works have become first-hand sources in terms of Turkish Islamic arts. There are twelve vefeyatnâmes written on Bursa. This indicates the wealth of scholars, sufis, poets and artists the city has produced. It was written by Mehmed Fahreddin Efendi, the sheikh of Gülzâr-ı İrfân Enârî Dervish Lodge, which is among the important sources of Bursa in terms of science, culture and art history.This work is the most voluminous of the Bursa vefeyatnâmes and is a continuation of İsmail Beliğ's Güldeste-i Riyâz-ı İrfân and Eşrefzâde Ahmed Ziyâeddin Efendi's Gülzâr-ı Sülehâ, which were written before it.As a matter of fact, Fahreddin Efendi stated in the introduction of his work that he wrote this book to embellish Eşrefzâde Ahmed Ziyâeddin Efendi's Gülzâr-ı Sülehâ. As a matter of fact, Fahreddin Efendi stated in the introduction of his work that he wrote this book to embellish Eşrefzâde Ahmed Ziyâeddin Efendi's Gülzâr-ı Sülehâ. Mehmed Fahreddin Efendi made selections from these two obituaries in his work, and also included in his work scholars and artists who lived in Bursa between 1196/1781 and 1258/1843. With its source value regarding its period and before, the work is among the most important sources of Yâdigâr-ı Şemsî, written by Mehmed Şemseddin Efendi, the last sheikh of Mısrî Dervish Lodge, which constitutes the last link of the Bursa vefeyatnâme tradition.It is seen that Fahreddin Efendi includes the life stories of the sultans, princes, vizier, sheikhulislam, sheikh, governor, kadi muderris, lecturer, preacher, imam, preacher, poet and musician who died between the dates specified in Gülzâr-ı İrfân. One of the artistic groups for which a section is allocated in the work is the musicians.The author includes translations of twenty-seven musicians and poets, and it is seen that most of these artists are from the Sufi group. However, some of the artists whose names are mentioned in the work are also the unique names of the mosque music of the period. Among the twenty-seven musicians whose statements he gave in Gülzâr-ı İrfân, the author are Derviş Ali Efendi, Derviş Sadâyî, İsa Efendi, Mevlûdî Osman Efendi, Derviş Abdi, Havyarzâde Hüseyin Efendi, Çatalsakal Derviş Mustafa Efendi, Saricazâde Seyyid İbrahim Efendi, Sultan's Imam el-Hajj. He made quotations from İsmail Beliğ's Gülteste-i Riyâz-ı İrfân in the context of the life story of Mustafa Efendi and Nizâmeddin Efendi, one of the imams of the Green Mosque. Later, he added five musicians to his work in chronological order, namely Hastazâde Abdullah Efendi, Kapan Kâtibizâde Mustafa Efendi, Cumâbeyzâde el-Hac Salih Efendi, Çıkrıkcızâde Siyâhî Ahmed Efendi and Kocagözzâde Mustafa Efendi, who appeared in Eşrefzâde Ahmed Ziyâeddin Efendi's Gülzâr-ı Sülehâ. Subsequently, as an addition to Gülzâr-ı Sülehâ, Laz el-Hac Hasan Efendi, Râgıp Pasha Bookstore Sâdık Efendi, Karaböcekzâde Münâdî Ahmed Efendi, Katırcızâde Seyyid Ahmed Efendi, Sofuzâde Seyyid el-Hac Ahmed Efendi, Sıçancızâde Ali Efendi, Baytârîzâde Hattat el-Hac Mehmed Efendi added twelve musicians to his works, including Resü'l-Müezzinîn Hakkızâde İbrahim Efendi, Kalburcuzâde Seyyid Mehmed Efendi, Celvetî Şerif Efendi and Hâşim Efendizâde Seyyid Mehmed Muhyiddin Efendi. In this study, the main source is the manuscript number 1098 in the Ali Emîrî Şer’iyye catalogue, belonging to Fahreddin Efendi, in the Istanbul Millet Library. Other sources about musicians were also used in the study. In addition to introducing the scholars, musicians and poets from Bursa whose names are not found in sources other than this work of Fahreddin Efendi, the study is also important in revealing the historical phases of Bursa's religious music.
