La'lizade Abdulbaki Efendi was born in 1090/1679 and became a leading representative of the Bayrami-Melami tradition in Istanbul. He held posts in the scholarly (ilmiye) class while also defending the intellectual heritage of Melamism through his Sufi works. His work "Sergüzeşt" is regarded as an important source of Melami thought. He died in 1159/1746 and was buried in his open-air tomb near the Kalenderhane in Eyüp. He should not be confused with his father La'li Mehmed Efendi (buried in Famagusta).
