Dawud al-Qaysari lived circa 1260 to circa 1350 and was an early Ottoman Sufi scholar, philosopher and mystic, born in Kayseri in central Anatolia and a student of the Iranian scholar Abd al-Razzaq Kashani, who died in 1329. He authored more than a dozen philosophical texts, several still important textbooks in Shia religious schools, the most significant being his commentary on Ibn Arabi's Fusus al-Hikam and his criticism of Ibn al-Farid's critics; Sultan Orhan Gazi built a school for him in the town of Iznik, the first Ottoman state-established medrese.
