Elvendzade Ali Pasha

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

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).

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