## Bio

Yusuf Khass Hajib lived in Balasaghun, capital of the Kara-Khanid Khanate in what is now Kyrgyzstan, where he served as a statesman and vizier. He was also a Maturidi theologian and philosopher. In the 11th century he composed the Kutadgu Bilig, a long didactic poem in a Turkic language. Nearly everything known about his life comes from what he wrote within that work itself — the text is both his legacy and his only real biography.
