Sa'deddin Efendi was a renowned Ottoman chief jurisconsult,
influential statesman, eminent scholar, and prolific translator of
Arabic and Persian works into Turkish. Prognostic Dreams,
Otherworldly Saints, and Caliphal Ghosts comprises a critical
edition, English translation, and a facsimile of his hagiographic
work on controversial Ottoman sultan Selim I ("the Grim").
Sa'deddin's Selimname consists of a preface and twelve anecdotes in
which Selim I is portrayed as a divinely ordained sultan who delves
into the realm of meditation, communicates with otherworldly saints
and the "rightly guided" caliphs, and foretells the future.
