The only source that gives details about Rawandi's life is his own book. He was from a scholarly family from Rawand near

Süleymanshah II, but dedicated it to Kaykhusraw I, following the latter's accession as Sultan of Rum. Later the Rahat al-sudur was translated into Turkish during the reign of Murad II.[1]

Rawandi died after 1207.[2]

Modern era

In 1921, the Rahat al-sudur was published by Muhammad Iqbal (died 1938).[3] It was recognized by Iqbal, Edward G. Browne and Mirza Muhammad Qazwini as a source in other texts, namely Jami' al-tawarikh of Rashid al-Din Hamadani (died 1318), Rawdat al-safa of Mirkhvand (died 1498) and Tarikh-i guzida of Hamdallah Mustawfi (died after 1339/40).[3]
