Abstract

Gelibolulu Mustafa Âlî, is one of the most important intellectuals, historians, authors and bureaucrats. He performed in various top management positions of the government such as council clerkship, provincial treasurer of manorialism, sanac beylic etc. The author's work named Nasîhatu’s-Selâtîn constitutes the original source of information on his life. The author, in this work, provides very important information about his own life. Some important studies were conducted on Mustafa Âlî's life in the world of literature. However, there is no significant detailed and recent study about his works. Mustafa Âlî, who is a versatile intellectual, indited important works in many areas such as politics, history, literature, morals and Islamic mysticism. It was contented with mentioning some of his works or only the names of his works in the studies conducted so far on Gelibolulu. In some studies, different copies of the same work were treated as if they had been different works without doing a serious research. There is not adequate information on whether the writings of these works exist or not; if they exist, in which libraries they are and; whether there is any study about these works or not. In this study, after giving ordered information on Mustafa Âlî's life and his scholarly entity, some information is given on in which libraries (section, number) the writings of his works that are known to exist are; if they were printed, when and where they were printed; if an extended study on a work was conducted, which ones are the most important of these studies.
