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

Biographical notes

One of the most influential and prolific Sufi thinkers of medieval times, Ibn al-ʿArabī was born in the Spanish region of Murcia on 27 Ramaḍān 560 [1165 CE]. He moved to Seville when he was eight years old and began his formal education in that city. From a young age, Ibn al-ʿArabī became part of the local government, acting as kātib to various governors. It is related that during an illness, he had a vision that made him realise that he has been leaving in ignorance (Jāhiliyya) until that moment and had a mystical awakening that would mark the rest of his life. In search of mystical knowledge, he sought the company of different Sufi Shaykhs, travelling for the next 10 years across the Iberian Peninsula and North Africa. He stayed for some time in Tunis, Fez, Cordova where he began to write some of his early works before going to Cairo and then to Jerusalem around the year 598 AH [1202 CE] from where he began his pilgrimage to Mecca. While om ḥajj, he met Majd al-Dīn Isḥāq (the father of Ṣadr al-Dīn al-Qūnawī) and a group of Sufis and Ibn Arabi decided to join them in their trip back to Syria and Anatolia. He arrived in Malatya around 601 AH [1205 CE], at a time when ʿIzz al-Dīn Kaykāvūs I has been restored as the Sultan of Rum. Majd al-Dīn Isḥāq was invited by the Sultan to the court, where he came accompanied by Ibn al-ʿArabī, who offered advice to the Sultan and both were honoured at the court. Ibn al-ʿArabī resumed his travels again, leaving Anatolia to visit Baghdad and Aleppo and return to Anatolia around 1215 [1215 CE] when he completed the commentary to his Tarjumān al-as̲h̲wāq in between Aksaray and Sivas and then settled for some time in Malatya where he married and have a son. At some point before 1230 [1230 CE], he left Anatolia and re-settled in Damascus under the protection of the Ibn Zakī family of qāḍīs and the Ayyubid court. He died in 1240 [1240 CE] and his body was buried in the mount Qāsiyūn, north of Damascus. Ibn al-ʿArabī is one of the most influential Sufi authors in Anatolia especially die to the diffusion of his idea made by his disciple Ṣadr al-Dīn al-Qūnawī. Other commentators on Ibn al-ʿArabī’s works such as Dāwūd al-Ḳayṣarī (d. 751/1350) or Ḳuṭb al-Dīn al-Izniḳī also helped to spread his philosophy in the region.

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.

Notes

A work on the Sufi journey, stations and concepts, with a focus on union with God. Completed in 833 AH [1430 CE], it is probably one of al-Qudsī’s first works, to which he frequently refers in his other works. The author’s copy is located at the Istanbul University Library.
