Hoca Sadeddin (or Sa'düddin) Efendi (Ottoman Turkish: خواجه سعد الدین افندی 1536 or 1537 – October 2, 1599[1]) was an Ottoman scholar, official, and historian, a teacher of Ottoman sultan Murad III (when Murad was prince). His name is transcribed differently: Sa'd ad-Din, Sa'd al-Din, Sa’adeddin, Sadeddin, etc. He was also called "Hoca Efendi", "Koca Hoca Efendi" and with the title of "Câmi'-ür Riyâseteyn".[1]
When Murad became Sultan, Sadeddin became his advisor. Later he fell out of favor, but was appointed Sheikh ul-islam, a superior authority in the issues of Islam.
Sadeddin is the author of Tâc üt-Tevârîh (Tadj ut-Tewarikh, “Crown of Histories”), a history of the Ottoman Empire in prose and verse.
He had at least five sons: (died 1615), Esad Efendi (died 1625), Mesud Efendi (died 1597), Abdülaziz Efendi (died 1618), and Salih Efendi.[2]
