Ahmed Sudi Bosnawi (d. circa 1599) was born in Bosnia in a village on the border with Montenegro. He studied in Foça, Sarajevo and Istanbul. After sojourns in Erzurum, Diyarbakir, Damascus, Baghdad, Kufa and making the pilgrimage to Mecca he settled once more in Istanbul, where he was for a short while employed at the school for the Palace Slaves in the palace of Ibrahim Pasha on the Atmeydani. After his dismissal, probably on the death of his patron Sokollu Mehmed Pasha, he dedicated himself to writing. He was particularly well known for his commentaries on Persian classics such as the Diwan of Hafiz and the Gulistan and Bustan of Sa’di.
