Müneccimbaşi [Chief Astrologer] Osman Kamil Efendi, also known as Tarsusizade, received his early education in mosques before attending a madrasa. After graduating from the madrasa, he successfully passed the ruus examination and served as a professor in many madrasas. He held the title of müneccimbaşi during the reign of Abdülhamid II. Osman Kamil Efendi was assigned as a professor at the Madrasa of Mahmudiyya in Medina for almost six years between 1274-1280 AH and translated the Risala fi uşul al-hadith, attributed to al-Birgivi, during this time. The current article publishes this translation for the first time. At the same time, the article has also scanned and recorded the archives and registers in order to construct Osman Kamil Efendis biography. This article additionally attempts to identify the works on the methodology of hadith that were written in Turkish during the time of the Ottoman Empire. These works can be considered as a step toward a clearer understanding regarding the writing of uşuls on hadith works during the Ottoman era.
