- 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) was 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 (القصيدة الامية) and the Nafhat al-Ruh (نفحت الروح) he shows an explicit concern to make Sufi knowledge available to the non-Arabic speakers who have been excluded from it.
