Ahmed Bican Yazıcıoğlu and his brother were pupils of [[Hacı Bayram-ı Veli]] who founded the [[Bayramiye|Bayramiyye order]]. They considered it their [[dervish]] duty to spread knowledge among the common people. To accomplish this, they wrote in the language of their people, which was [[Turkish language|Turkish]]. Ahmed Bican (Yazıcıoğlu just means ''the scribe'') translated and compiled literature using original works from the then dominant scholarly language of Arabic. This religious act of translation has preserved important works for later generations and has caused him to become considered one of the most important figures of Ottoman culture. Besides translations, he also wrote some original works of his own. The famous legend about the founding of [[Byzantium|Istanbul]] can be traced back to his ''Dürr-i Meknûn''. |

Yazıcıoğlu was highly productive as a writer and transcribed a number of popular religious and encyclopedic works. His best known books today are the religious work ''[[Envârü’l- ‘âşıkîn]]'' and the ''Dürr-i Meknûn''. He was probably able to accomplish these works by his religious lifestyle. His nickname 'Bican', which means ''the lifeless'', refers to his ascetic [[dervish]] lifestyle. He was an advocate of religious fasting and foregoing sleep. |

The ''Dürr-i Meknûn'' approaches the world from the [[Creation myth|Creation]] according to [[cosmography|cosmographic]] tradition. Details about the heavenly bodies are followed by tales of ancient peoples, prophecies and divine punishments, discourses on stones, images, medicinal plants, mythical creatures, faraway countries, seas and islands with their bizarre inhabitants such as the [[cynocephali]]. The author concludes with a chapter about the terrors that await us at the [[Eschatology|end of the world]], including the [[Islam]]ic [[Antichrist]]: the [[Dajjal]]. |
