Who is Amir Allis?

Amir Allis was a writer of Egyptian origin living in Egypt in the late 12th century. He incorporated many Sufi images in his writing and was generally considered a mystic. He served as a soldier under Saladin during the Third Crusade and was with the Sultan when he recaptured Jerusalem. While little is recorded regarding his life's history, it is presumed that he remained in Jerusalem after Saladin's victory. This assumption stems from some of his later work which includes plays on the similarity of Hebrew and Arabic words.
