Sayyid Hashim Mustafa al-Uskudari al-Jalwati (Hashim Mustafa Uskudari) was born in Uskudar (d.1197/1783). Also known as Hashim Baba, he spent time in both Bektashi and Celvati sufi circles, though he accepted neither order completely and is considered the founder of his own branch of the Celveti order, the Hashimiyye. His poetic Divan and his Varidat, a collection of prose writings on numerous subjects including prognostication (jafr) and the numerology of the alphabet (abjad), were widely read and are found together as a single volume in numerous collections such as the Suuleymaniye Library. The work being offered here, Varidat-i Mensure ve Divan-i Menzume (the Prose Inspirations and the Poetic Divan) was a highly regarded reference source amongst the followers of the Celveti order.
