Biography

Mustafa Ejubović was born in a Bosnian family in the Herzegovinian town of Mostar in 1651. His father Jusuf Ejubović was a distinguished professor. Young Mustafa taught maktab and madrasa in Mostar before departing for Constantinople to study in 1677.[1] There he listened to lectures on philosophy, astronomy and mathematics. When he graduated, he got a professorship at a lower madrasa in Constantinople, became famous for his lectures, and soon began to teach.[2] Ejubović wrote 27 treatises on logic during his lifetime.[3] IHe contributed to Bosnian literature on his native Bosnian language, but he was also fluent in Arabic, Turkish and Persian.[4]

Upon his return to Bosnia, Ejubović became the Mufti of Mostar in 1692.[5] He died on 16 July 1707 in his hometown.[6]
