Hosam al-Din Ali Bitlisi

Hosam al-Din Ali Bitlisi Nurbakhshi (died 1494-1495) was a Kurdish Sufi author. He was the father of the noted historian Idris Bitlisi.[1]

Nothing is known about Hosam al-Din's early life, except for the fact that he received a proper education and was well versed in both Persian and Arabic.[1] Either prior to completing his education, or after that, he became a member of the Sufi Nurbakhshi order.[1] The Nurbakhshi order itself was a branch of the Kobrawiya order (founded by Najm al-Din Kobra).[1] It is considered likely that Hosam al-Din became a follower, and in turn the eventual successor of the so-called "actual" founder of the order; Mohammad Nurbakhsh (died 1465).[1]

He died in Bitlis in 1494-1495, and was buried there.[1]
