Inhaltsangabe

Generally referred to as Rumi, but known to Iranians as Maulavi, Maulana Jalal al-Din Muhammad Balkhi (henceforth Rumi) was born in Balkh, in present-day Afghanistan, in 1207. At the time Balkh was one of the major centers of mysticism. Rumi's interest in mysticism came much later, after his family had moved to Konya (present-day Turkey). In 1244, Rumi became acquainted with a wandering Sufi dervish known as Shams of Tabriz (in Persian Shams-e Tabrizi). It is said that in Shams Rumi beheld "a pure reflection of Allah," and was thus inspired to write some of his most famous verses. This book presents selections from the Divan of Shams of Tabriz as well as the Masnavi, two of Rumi's best-known works. It is an excellent introduction to Rumi's poetry, with text in the original Persian and English translations. It is illustrated with Persian miniatures.
