5. There were at least four other begs with the title of Suca`eddin * in
Anatolia in that generation: another Orhan * , this one from the House of
Mentese * , who has an inscription in Milas dated 1330 (Uzuncarsili * , AB ,
73); Yahsi * Han * bin Karasi, emir of Bergama (ibid., 99); Inanc * Beg of
Ladik, whose name and tide appear on an inscription of 1335 (ibid., 56); and a
certain Ugurlu * (?) in central Anatolia, mentioned in Al-`Umari's * Bericht
über Anatolien in seinem Werke "Masalik * al-absar * fi * mamalik * al-amsar *
," ed. F. Taeschner (Leipzig, 1929 ), 31.
6. Cited in Elizabeth A. Zachariadou, "Pachymeres on the 'Amourioi' of
Kastamonu," BMGS 3(1977):57-70. Inalcik * argues ("Osman * Ghazi's * Siege of
Nicaea and the Baffle of Bapheus," OE ) that "it is not plausible that Turcomans
from such a distant region as the Meander came to join `Osman * " (80) and that
those volunteers must have come from the nearer area of Afyonkarahisar. This
does not change my argument in terms of communication among Türkmens from
different principalities.
7. Several histories of Turkish literature concentrate only on works produced in
Turkish, but for a more comprehensive look at works produced in thirteenth-and
fourteenth-century Anatolia in Arabic, Persian, and Turkish, see the lists in
Uzuncarsili * , AB, 259-62 and 209-23, including discussion of the authors and
the patrons. Monographs on individual begliks also have useful sections on
intellectual life. The most informative and substantive discussion of the
literary scene, accompanied by analyses of individual works, is by Alessio
Bombaci: La Turchia dall'epoca preottomana al XV secolo, part 1 of A. Bombaci
and S. Shaw, L'impero ottomano (Turin, 1981). Also see relevant chapters in C.
Cahen, La Turquie préottomane (Istanbul, 1988).
