Encyclopedic overview

Seyid Ali Imadaddin Nasimi (Azerbaijani: سئید علی عمادالدّین نسیمی, romanized: Seyid Əli İmadəddin Nəsimi; c. 1369/70 – c. 1418/19), commonly known as simply Nasimi (نسیمی, Nəsimi), was a 14th- and 15th-century Hurufi poet who composed poetry in his native Azerbaijani, as well as Persian and Arabic languages. He is regarded as one of the greatest Turkic poets of his time and one of the most prominent figures in Azerbaijani literature.

Born around 1369–70, Nasimi received a good education and was drawn to Sufism at an early age. After becoming a faithful adherent of the Hurufism movement, Nasimi left Azerbaijan to spread Hurufism in Anatolia and later Aleppo following the execution of its founder and Nasimi's teacher, Fazlallah Astarabadi. In Hurufi thought, scriptural letters form the basis of all sacred knowledge, and God is revealed in the human face. In Aleppo, he gained followers as a Hurufi sheikh but faced resistance from Sunni circles who eventually convinced the Mamluk sultan to order his death for his religious beliefs around 1418–19. Nasimi was executed and buried in a Sufi lodge (takya) in Aleppo.
