Editor's Note
Ahmed Niyazi Efendi founded this lodge at the corner of Yarıcılar Street and Site Cul-de-sac by converting his own private house into a dervish lodge, and he became its first postnişin (head sheikh). Revnakoğlu, who found two different inscriptions of the lodge, states that the first is dated AH 1236 (1820-1821) (possibly from its time as a zaviye) and the second AH 1257 (1841-1842), and he transcribes the texts of the inscriptions. Revnakoğlu also provides information about the lodge's sheikhs, the surviving inscriptions on the gravestones in its cemetery, and a copy of the AH 1298 (1880-81) endowment deed of the Ağaçkakan Bedevî Lodge.
