Biographical notes

Akmal al-Dīn al-Bābartī was a Ḥanafī fiqh specialist and prolific author with more than 40 works to his name. After studying in Aleppo Akmal al-Dīn al-Bābartī went to Cairo in 740 AH [1340-1339 CE] where he studied with Iṣfahānī, Maḥmūd ibn ʻAbd al-Raḥmān, 1275 or 1276-1348 or 1349, Kākī, Muḥammad ibn Muḥammad, -1348 or 1349 and Abū Ḥayyān, Muḥammad b. Yūsuf al-Andalūsī, 1256-1344 , among other renowned scholars. Akmal al-Dīn al-Bābartī was appointed as professor to the Amir Shaykhūn Khānqāh in Cairo, by Barqūq, Sultan of Egypt, 1340 or 1341-1399. Among his celebrated students are Mollā Fenārī, d. 1430 or 1431 and Sayyid Sharif Abū’l Ḥasan ‘Alī al-Jūrjānī, d. 1413. There has been some misunderstanding about the birthplace of Akmal al-Dīn al-Bābartī. Some scholars have assumed that he was from Bābertā, a village in the outskirts of Baghdad, yet Turkish scholars argue that his nisbah al-Rūmī indicates origins from the Pontic town of Babert (Bayburt) in the vicinity of Erzurum.
