Biographical notes

ʿAbd al-Laṭīf al-Qudsī was born in Jerusalem in 786 AH [1384 CE], where he spent most of his life. After studying at the madrasah, al-Qudsī joined Sufism and became a disciple of Zayn al-Dīn Ḥāfī, the founder of the path of Zayniyyah in Khorasan. Upon obtaining his licence, he returned to Jerusalem, after which he spent three years in Asia Minor, in the 830s [1426-1435 CE]. His fame and popularity led Murād II to wish to visit him, which he refused. After returning to Jerusalem, al-Qudsī lived in Cairo for a period, followed by a brief stay in Damascus. His second travel to Asia Minor took place in 851 AH [1448 CE]. al-Qudsī stayed at the lodge of Ṣadr al-Dīn Qūnawī in Konya until 855 AH [1451 CE], when he moved to Bursa, where the Zayniyyah already had a significant following. Al-Qudsī died in Bursa in 856 AH [1452 CE]. His tomb is located in this city in a lodge complex built by one of his disciples after his death. ʿAbd al-Laṭīf al-Qudsī is credited with bringing the Zayniyyah path to Asia Minor. His Sufi thought resembles that of his master Zayn al-Dīn Ḥāfī, marked by a reserved language regarding the oneness of being (waḥdat al-wujūd) and a strict importance put on observing the sharīʿah. His disciples include Tāceddīn İbrāhīm Ḳaramānī, Şeyḫ Vefā (Muṣliḥuddīn Muṣṭafā), and ʿAşıḳpaşazāde. Some copies of al-Qudsī’s works copied by Şeyḫ Vefā (d. 896/1491) have survived to our day.
