Tahir Efendi Gjakova (Tahir Efendi Boshnjaku, 'the Great Efendi'), born in 1770, completed his studies in Istanbul (1807) and became the first müderris of the Small Madrasa in Gjakova (Yakova); he was a scholar, poet and sheikh, author of the famous 'Emni Vehbije'. His order affiliation is contested in the sources: Wikipedia/Wikidata give Bayramiye, while Raif Virmiça's inventory records him under the Naqshbandi branch with a 'Şeyh Tahir Efendi Tekkesi ve Türbesi'. He died in Gjakova in 1835 or 1850, and a türbe in his name (Tyrbja e Tahir Efendiut) is documented in the city.
