Discourses of Rumi

Available for the first time in paperback, this work translates a selection of discourses by Persia's great mystic and poet, Jalal-al-Din Rumi. Rumi was the principal inspiration behind the Sufi order, the Mawlawiyya, which many claim he founded. Born in Balkh, Jalal-al-Din later came to Konya, where he formed his famous relationship with the itinerant Sufi Shams al-Din Muhammad Tabrizi.
