Κατάλογος Μεγάλων Βεζίρηδων της Οθωμανικής Αυτοκρατορίας: Διαφορά μεταξύ των αναθεωρήσεων

|Σέρβος, και μέλος της Σερβικής αριστοκρατίας του [[Βράνιε]] (νοτιοανατολική [[Σερβία]]).<ref>{{cite book|last=Lowry|first=Heath W.|title=The Nature of the Early Ottoman State|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=31j8T6XoigYC&pg=PA116|access-date=28 Αυγούστου 2021|year=2003|publisher=SUNY Press|isbn=978-0-7914-8726-6|page=116 |quote=As for the third of Constantine's nephews, his subsequent career is harder to trace. There is, however, a possibility that when he emerged from the Palace he did so as Gedik Ahmed ''Paşa'', who in 1473 was named Grand Vezir by Mehmed II. While little is known about the early years of Gedik Ahmed ''Paşa'', the Turkish scholar Mükrimin Halil Yinanç has cited unnamed Western sources claiming that he was of Palaiologan origin. More recently, the 1985 study on the Serbian region of Vranje by Aleksandar Stojanovski, has established that Gedik Ahmed ''Paşa'' was a member of the minor Serbian aristocracy. In Stojanovski's study of a fifteenth-century cadastral survey ''(tahrir defter)'', a ''timar'' (fief) holder is listed as the newly converted "father of the illustrious Gedik Ahmed ''Paşa''". This identification, while undermining Yinanç's suggestion of Palaiologan ancestry for Gedik Ahmed ''Paşa'', would make him a member of the Serbian military aristocracy, since his father is shown to have previously held a ''pronoia'' (fief).}}</ref> Το χωριό Punoševce του Βράνιε, είχε το όνομα ''Gedik Ahmed Paşa'' στο Οθωμανικό [[ντεφτέρ]] του 1570, γεγονός το οποίο υποδηλώνει ότι αυτή ήταν η γενέτειρά του. Επίσης, το γεγονός ότι έχτισε ένα [[τζαμί]] στο Βράνιε, και διέθεσε ένα [[βακούφι]] σε αυτό, ενισχύει αυτή την άποψη.<ref>{{Cite web|last=Reindl-Kiel|first=Hedda|title=GEDİK AHMED PAŞA|url=https://islamansiklopedisi.org.tr/gedik-ahmed-pasa|url-status=live|access-date=28 Αυγούστου 2021|website=TDV İslam Ansiklopedisi|language=tr|quote=Angiolello’ya göre Sırbistan’da doğdu. İvranye’ye (Vranye) bağlı Punuševce (Polnosevce) köyünün diğer adının 1570 tarihli Tahrir Defteri’nde Gedik Ahmed Paşa olarak belirtilmesi doğum yerinin bu köy olduğunu düşündürmektedir. Ayrıca İvranye’de bir cami yaptırması ve vakıf tahsis etmesi de bu tahmini pekiştirmektedir.}}</ref>
