Content Summary	The res gestae reveals the mystic career of the saint mainly covering his activities in the Ottoman lands—mainly Bursa—in between 1390-1420s. Emīr Sultān has an utmost control on his body (he can fly and present himself in two different lieux). He can move from distance the objects and thus command them; change their substantial properties. He has effects on nature (by making rain, revivifying trees and making trees give fruits, taming the wild animals, communicating with them). He can foretell the feature, talk with the dead and contact with prophets and Hiżr. He has healing powers. He can feed a group of people with few aliments and even bring back the dead.
