Born and lived in Cafe (Feodosia) , in the 1620s. Father's name was Hrmpey. He received a church education, but became a craftsman [3] (according to M. Aradzhioni - a shoemaker [4] ). He wrote more than a dozen poems of spiritual and secular content, most in 1683–86 [4] . Used acrostic , one of the verses is written by pasta (every second line in Turkish ). Judging by spiritual verses, the root of all evils and human misfortunes was considered to be the service of Mammon . Of the works, the ode “Medicine of my wounds” dedicated to the Virgin Mary ( Armenian Սպեղանի իմ խոցերոյս ), lyric poems “The most beautiful of all colors is the rose” ( Armenian Սիրուն է վարդն ի մէջ ծաղկանցն ամենէ ), noteworthy, are noteworthy . Եկ, պիւլպիւլ իմ գարնանային ) and “The cold and winter passed” ( Armenian Էանց ցուրտ եւ ձմեռն ), in which love and nature are chanted [3] . Simeon partly continues the traditions of classical Armenian poetry, partly it is a representative of the ashug folklore [3] .
Simeon Kafaeci-lyric should not be confused with the poet-wanderer of the same name [1] of the same period (XVII century), who wrote two poems about wandering life.
