About Artist
He was born in Iran's Nishapur. His moniker was "Sibek." Although it is certain that he was one of the most eminent scholars of Mirza Shah Rukh's time and one of the most eminent figures of the Yaqut school, and that he was proficient in ta’liq, no information exists regarding his teachers. He is also a poet, and his works are titled Shabistan-e Khayal and Ta'bir-name. With the aid of the Ottomans, he settled in Amasya during his final days. He died there around H 852 while he was busy teaching science.
