Product Description
Mawlana Jalal al-Din Rumi's great poem, the Mathnawi is one of the best known and most influential works of Muslim mysticism. Nicholson's critical edition is based on the oldest known manuscripts, including the earliest, dated 1278 and preserved in the Mevlana Museum at Konya. It remains the standard text and is provided with diacritical marks to assist the student. The prose translation, similarly, is intended to be an exact and faithful guide to the Persian. The three volumes of English translation can either be bought as a set, or individually; together they comprise a complete translation. Volume 6 comprises a translation of Books V and VI.

Customer Reviews
A great release
Jalal al-Din Rumi's wonderous and expansive work goes beyond the confines of world experience. His fathomless love for God shines through every page and sets the words alight. The majority of the work is completely lucid and requires no explanation. Certain sections are demanding but the quality and breadth of the writing is such that you compel yourself to keep taking it in.
