Sheikh Izzaddin Asfaraini[a] (Azerbaijani: Şeyx İzzəddin Həsənoğlu, عزالدین حسن اوغلو; Persian: شیخ عزالدین پورحسن اسفراینی), better known by his pen name Hasanoghlu (Həsənoğlu, حسن اوغلو) was a 13th and 14th century poet who composed poetry in Azerbaijani and Persian. He is the earliest known author of Azerbaijani literature.[1]
Name edit
The poet used the pen name Hasanoghlu[b] when writing in Azerbaijani and Pur-e Hasan when writing in Persian.
Biography edit
Hasanoghlu hasn't been properly researched yet and information about him is very scarce. He was born in the town of Esfarayen in the Khorasan region in the 13th century.[2] He was a Sufi Muslim and a leading disciple of Shaikh Jamal al-Din Ahmad Dhakir, who was a khalifa of Radi al-Din 'Ali Lala (died in 1244-45). He was apparently famous in Azerbaijan and known as far as Anatolia and Egypt.[3][4]
Poetry edit
Almost nothing of Hasanoghlu's poetry has survived.
Legacy edit
As the earliest known author of Azerbaijani literature, Hasanoghlu's work was instrumental in shaping the Azerbaijani literary language.[5]
