The best known of his encyclopaedic contributions is the “Keşfü’z-zünûn”, a bibliographical dictionary in the Arab language, with over 14,500 entries in alphabetical order. This work served as a basis for the “Bibliothèque Orientale” by Barthélemy d’Herbelot de Molainville. He was also the author of many works in the fields of geography, history and economics.

Katip Çelebi, Mustafa bin Abdallah, Haji Khalifa or Kalfa, (1609, Istanbul - 1657 Istanbul) was an Ottoman scholar.

He became a government official (ikindji khalif) while continuing to write his encyclopedic contributions. The best known being the "Kashf al-zunnun", a bibliographical dictionary in the Arab language with over 14.500 entries in alphabetical order. This work served as basis for the "Bibliothéque Orientale" of Barthélemy d'Herbelot de Molainville.
