Elvendzade Ali Pasha

Elvendzade Ali Pasha was Ottoman Governor of Baghdad during several periods, in 1574–1576, 1582-1583 and 1597–1598.[2]

A manuscript was created for Elvendzade Ali Pasha by an artist named Niyazi, the Ẓafernāme-i ʿĀlī Paşa (Book of Victory of Ali Pasha), celebrating his successes against the Safavids around Baghdad in 1583, during the Ottoman–Safavid War (1578–1590).[3]

He died in 1598 in battle, and was replaced as Governor of Baghdad by Sokolluzade Hasan Paşa.[4]
