The fonction of İbrahim Gülşeni at Ottoman culture and art [Osmanli{dotless} kültür ve sanati{dotless}nda İbrahim Gülşenî'nin i·şlevi]
Özet
One of dervish lodge-mystical connoisseurs making contribution to the development of the Ottoman poetry and art is İbrahim Gülşeni. His mystical identity shaped in Tabriz matured at Gülşeni Dervish Lodge in Cairo. Gülşeni Dervish Lodge in Cairo became a center of attraction for many people trained in both Anatolia and Rumelia. Lots of poems and musiclovers going into action at different regions of the Ottoman region after having a mystical training at Güşeni Dervish Lodge, one of the Ottoman cultural centers of that period, like Yenice, Edirne, Bursa, İstanbul and Gelibolu were brought up. Gülşeni poets and musiclovers set up good relations with Mevlevi and Hurufi environments and made contributions to the Ottoman art in an interdependent manner.
