‘Abd al-Latif’s intellectual position comes across in his autobiography (sira). It seems to have formed part of a larger work no longer extant which he wrote for his son Sharaf al-Din Yusuf. The sira is contained in the Sources of Information on the Classes of Physicians by Ibn Abi Usaybi‘a (Ibn Abi Usaybi‘a, c. 1242 [1882–84], Kitab ‘Uyun al-anba’ fi tabaqat al-atibba’, A. Müller (ed.), al-Qahira: al-Matba‘at al-wahbiyya, 1882–1884: II. 201–213; Martini Bonadeo 2013), and even more in the Book of the Two Pieces of Advice (see Gutas 2011; Martini Bonadeo 2013; Joosse 2014; Fedouache - Ajoun - Ben Ahmed 2018). Other passages from ‘Abd al-Latif’s autobiography have been preserved by al-Dhahabi’s History of Islam (Von Somogyi 1937; Cahen 1970). Finally, further information on ‘Abd al-Latif can be found in the report of his journey in Egypt entitled Book of the Report and Account of the Things which I Witnessed and the Events Seen in the Land of Egypt, a compendium extracted from his own history of Egypt, lost to us (Zand, Videan, &amp; Videan 1965; Martini Bonadeo 2017).
