Hoxhë Hasan Tahsini or simply Hoxha Tahsim (7 April 1811 – 3 July 1881)[1] was an Albanian alim, astronomer, mathematician and philosopher.

When he was young he worked as tutor to the sons of Hayrullah Efendi, Minister of Education of the Ottoman Empire.

The government appointed Tahsini as rector as it was believed that he could establish a balance between western European and Islamic methods and ideologies.

[4] Other works of Tahsini in the Turkish language include a translation of Constantin François de Chassebœuf's Loi Naturelle.

[8] The Committee for Defending Albanian Rights appointed Tahsini along with Sami Frashëri, Pashko Vasa and Jani Vreto to create an Albanian alphabet which by 19 March 1879 the group approved Frashëri's 36 letter alphabet consisting mostly of Latin characters.
