Mehmet Esad Efendi

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Mehmet Esad Efendi (c. 1789–1848) was an Ottoman historian.[1][2] He was court historian to Sultan Mahmud II, who commissioned him to write up the events of the dissolution of the Janissary corps. His book Uss i-zafer ("The Foundation of the Victorious"), is the chief source of information on this incident.[3][4]
