Biographical notes
Mu’ayyid al-Dīn al-Jandī was a member of the circle of Sadr al-Din Qunawi , according to Aflākī and Jāmī, and served him for 10 years. After Sadr al-Din Qunawi 's death in 673 AH [1274 CE], he went to Baghdad; where he writes his lost commentary on Ibn ʿArabī's Mawāqi‘ al-Nujūm (مواقع النجوم). Following this, he went to Sinop, where the Nafḥat al-Rūḥ (نفحت الروح) composed. Various dates are given by late sources for his daeath, but the most reliable evidence comes from an ms of his Sharḥ Fuṣūṣ al-Ḥikam (شرح فصوص الحكم), Süleymaniye Yazma Eser Kütüphanesi, Laleli, n. 1417, which states the work was composed in Tabriz, where the author died on 20 Dhu’l-Hijja 711 [1312-03 CE].al-Jandī's major work was Ibn ʿArabī’s Fuṣūṣ al-Ḥikam (فصوص الحكم), which was the source for later commentaries, including Yazıcıoğlu Mehmed’s al-Muntaha (المنتهي) and Jāmī’s Naqd al-Nuṣuṣ fi Sharḥ Naqsh al-Fuṣūṣ (نقد النصوص في نقسه الفصوص). In both al-Qasida al-Lamiyya (القسده اللميه) and the Nafhat al-Ruh (نفرت الروح) he shows an explicit concern to make Sufi knowledge available to the non-Arabic speakers who have been excluded from it.

Notes
Although the introduction to the work in both mss describes it as such, and it in both it immediately follows the qasida, it is a wholly distinct work, written for the benefit of kings, sultans and viziers who were unable to follow fully the Sufi way.
Date of composition is Shawwal 691 [1292 CE].
