Behisti of Vize was a sixteenth-century poet who wrote in the shahrangiz genre, which featured well-known, prominent, or famous people and beauties in the context of a particular city in classical Turkish literature. The shahrangiz of Behisti, known by the pseudonyms Vizeli, Vaiz, and Sani, to avoid confusion with other poets bearing the same pseudonym, intertwines with the shahrangiz of the Mesihi and the Kerimi. It is part of a poem collection manuscript with scattered pages, registered as Mil Yz A 827 in Ankara National Library catalog. According to historical records, Behisti was born in Vize, studied in Istanbul, was assigned to Corlu, and later went to Bursa, as perceived by the statements in his shahrangiz. Shahrangiz, believed to be missing a section at the beginning, consists of a total of 113 couplets, including a 108-couplet mathnawi and a 5-couplet ghazal at the end. This text is written with an aruz meter generally preferred for the shahrangiz, the hezec: mefailun/mefailun/feulun.
