- Abstract
In recent years, many biographies have been written about prominent figures in Ottoman history. Despite this numerical increase, some of these works contain serious methodological and informational errors due to the lack of the necessary academic equipment. One of the works characterized by such deficiencies and errors is the book titled "Hekimoğlu Ali Pasha: Sheikhülvüzera of the Age of Pashas" written by Mehmet Yılmaz Akbulut. Published in 2022 by Timaş Publications, the book went into its third edition in a short time. A few introductory articles have been published about the book so far. In this review, the importance of mastering the bureaucratic structure and functioning in biography writing and how archival documents can be used in a healthier way are explained through Akbulut's book. In this way, it is shown with examples what kind of errors and deficiencies biographies written without the necessary academic equipment and the right methodology contain.
