Mīram Čelebī was the great grandchild of Qāḍīzāde and `Alī Qūshjī’s (the former’s son married the latter's daughter in Samarqand). Mīram Čelebī’s father, the scholar Quṭb al-Dīn Muḥammad, came with `Alī Qūshjī to Istanbul, where Quṭb al-Dīn married Mīram Čelebī’s mother, who was the daughter of Khōja-zāde, a famous scholar and philosopher of that time. His father, who had been a teacher at the Manāstır madrasa (school) in Bursa, died at a young age, and so Mīram Čelebī was raised by his grandfather Khōja-zāde as well as other leading scholars of the time such as Sinān Pasha. Upon his graduation, he taught at several madrasas (the Gelibolu, the Edirne `Alī Bey, and the Bursa Manāstır); Sultan Bāyazīd II (d. 1512) asked him to be his teacher. Mīram Čelebī was appointed as Qāḍī `askar of Anatolia during the reign of Sultan Selīm I (r. 1512-20); but it was short-lived.  Towards the end of his life, he went on the pilgrimage to Mecca; upon his return he settled in Edirne, where he died and was buried in the courtyard of the Qāsīm Pasha Mosque. [I. Fazlioglu, BEA]
