After 13 September 1192, the date of the armistice with the Franks, ‘Abd al-Latif moved to Jerusalem with the Saladin who appointed him as the administrator of the Umayyad mosque in Damascus. After the death of the Saladin (d.1193), the last years of ‘Abd al-Latif’s life took the form of a long series of journeys, no longer in search of knowledge, instruction, teachers and books, but all motivated by, or at the behest of, patrons: in Damascus al-Malik al-Afdal, Saladin’s eldest son; in Cairo al-Malik al-Aziz, in Jerusalem al-Malik al-Adil Sayf al-Din Abu Bakr ibn Ayyub, in Erzinjan al-Malik ‘Ala’ al-Din Da’ud ibn Bahram, in Aleppo Shihab al-Din Tughril. While he was in Aleppo he wanted to go on pilgrimage to Mecca, and he started his journey towards Baghdad to leave some of his works to the ‘Abbasid caliph al-Mustansir ibn al-Zahir (r. 1226–1242). Once he arrived in Baghdad ‘Abd al-Latif fell ill and died on 9 November, 1231. He was buried next to his father in the Wardiyya cemetery.
