Something wrong?An 11th-century Turkic poet and vizier who left almost no trace beyond the manuscript he wrote himself - the Kutadgu Bilig, a mirror-for-princes text from the Kara-Khanid court that became one of the oldest surviving works in a Turkic language.

About this person
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.
