Jalal al-Din Rumi - The Mathnawi (Arabic: مثنوي) or (Persian: مثنوی) - 1724
An illuminated bi-folio copied in Lucknow in 1724 from the Mathnawi by Jalal al-Din Rumia great Sufi Muslim poets. The Mathnawi (Arabic: مثنوي mathnawī) or masnavi (Persian: مثنوی Mas̲navī), is regarded as the greatest and most influential poetic work of muslim mysticism, taking Rumi 25 years to dictate, although the 6th and final book was never completed before he died. It was composed for the benefit of a group of Rumi’s disciples in the Sufi order better known as the whirling dervishes.
The Mathnawi (or Masnavi as it is often referred to) is a series of six books of poetry that together amount to around 25,000 verses or 50,000 lines. It is poetic text derived from the Quran that teaches Sufis how to reach their goal of being truly in love with God.
This folio is scribed in black nasta’liq in a fine hand with commentary in the margins. There are beautiful mirror image (5a-f) corner and central arabesque illuminations in gold, blue and red on both folios.
The condition is good for its age, although there are a couple of minor worm holes close to the ventral illuminations and some thinning of the frame which has been strengthened with archival paper (see image of reverse).
