Nasreddin Hodja
He was born in the village of Hortu in Sivrihisar
in 1208 and died in Akşehir in 1284. His tomb is in
Akşehir.
He was first educated by his father Abdullah
Effendi, who was the imam of the village he was
born in. Then he studied at Sivrihisar and Konya
Madrasahs (old Moslem schools). After he finished
his education, he worked as an imam in his village
in place of his father. Besides that he worked as an
assistant cadi and a madrasah teacher, and learnt
sufism from Seyyid Mohammed Hayrani.
Nasreddin Hodja was a saint who devoted his life
to showing people the right path, telling them
what’s good, leading them to the truth, and
advising them to avoid evil-doing. When he was
doing this, he used a method of his own. He used to
tell what was right; and in order to amend the
corrupt sides of society, he used to explain the
matter briefly making quite allusive jokes and using
a language which the public could understand
easily.
Each of his banters is like a proverb full of
wisdom and morality. In this respect, it is obvious
that some jokes that are dull and indecent, but are
assumed to be Nasreddin Hodja’s jokes, do not in
fact belong to him. It is clear that a person who was
both a scholar and a saint did not tell such simple
and ordinary jokes.
Researches demonstrate that Nasreddin Hodja is
not a legendary figure, but a devout Moslem who
lived in the Seljukian times in the 13
th
century.
PREFACE:
We wanted to present the jokes of our
Nasreddin Hodja, who is one of the
distinguished personalities of Turkish art of
humour lived in the 13
th
century, to the
individual taste and interest of English speaking
world citizens. We translated this book into
English considering that cultural heritage is
universal. We hope it will be beneficial to the
reader.
We excluded the jokes which have been
among the ones that are extant as they have
always been told by the public, but are
unfavorable and inconsistent with Nasreddin
Hodja’s personality. We hope you will like these
humorous anecdotes that have made us both
laugh and think for 750 years.
If you give this book, which you can buy when
you go sightseeing in Turkey, to your friends
and acquaintances as a travel souvenir with
your autograph in it, you can perpetuate a
memento of yours that will lie on the
bookshelves for many years. We believe it is a
nice small present that will be received with
pleasure.
We send our love and kind regards to all our
readers and wish them many happy and healthy
years.

Who is greater?
They ask Hodja: “Effendi, who is greater, the
Sultan or farmer?”
Hodja says: “Of course the farmer,” and adds:
“Because if the farmer doesn’t grow wheat, the
Sultan dies of hunger.”
Advice:
Not only people themselves, but also
their jobs are a part of society. The lack of an
occupation is like the lack of an organ of the body,
isn’t it?
