Summary/Abstract: Anatolian lands have brought up many important personalities until today. His Holiness İbrahim Hakkı, a mystic, scholar, arif, edib, veli, author, poet, man of culture, religion and thought, historian, sociologist, psychologist, philosopher, astronomy and anatomy scholar. His Holiness İbrahim Hakkı, who has many manuscripts in different fields, lived in the time of Sultan Mahmud I in the 16th century and worked in the palace library by meeting with the sultan in the Ottoman Palace. Turkish artists prepared books (manuscripts) on a wide variety of subjects upon the support and requests of sultans, sultans, rulers and state administrators, and muralists (painters) decorated the pages of these manuscripts with their miniatures. Miniature, which is a book art, is the art of painting made to visually describe and decorate the subjects in manuscripts, and its artist is called a miniaturist. In the miniature art, which is mostly known as the palace art, the muralist designs the subject described in the manuscripts, taking into account the miniature techniques, stylistic features and documentation features. In the miniatures of the Ottoman Empire, no miniatures were made about the life and works of His Holiness İbrahim Hakkı. The miniatures in the article are a source for today's miniature art and future periods, as well as historical document features; It is hoped to guide artists and researchers in addressing new issues that have not yet been addressed.
