Mihri Hatun

She was the daughter of a ''kadi'' (an Ottoman judge) and according to sources she spent most of her life in and near Amasya, in Anatolia.Havlioglu, 2 Documentation places her as a member of the literary circle of Prince Ahmed, the son of Sultan Bayezid II.Lewis, 207 The myth that has grown up around her states that she “fell in love many times but insists that all these loves were chaste and innocent, and that she led a life of unremitting virtue.” Lewis notes that though described as both “beautiful and ardent, she remained unmarried.” However, because the major sources on her life, tezkires, were written by male contemporaries who over emphasized virginity and sexuality as indicitive of her morality, it is impossible to interpret the extent to which she was innocent and chaste. She is referred to as the "Sappho of the Ottomans". Poetry Lady ... [...More Info...]       [...Related Items...]     OR:     [Wikipedia]   [Google]   [Baidu]   |
