Isma'il Zuhdi the Elder (d. 1731 AD) was born in Istanbul and practised calligraphy with Sayyid 'Abdullah of Yedikule (d. 1731 AD) and Anbarizade Dervish 'Ali (d. 1715). Mustaqim-zadeh, the author of Tuhfe-i Hattatin ('The Biographies of Calligraphers'), notes that the famous Khoja Mehmed Rasim Efendi was present at his diploma ceremony. Isma'il Zuhdi the Elder was celebrated for his fine naskh and thuluth. He died in 1731 AD and was buried in Uskudar, Istanbul (Sevket Rado, Turk Hattatlari (Turkish Calligraphers), Istanbul 1980, pp. 135-36).
