First Edition
Paperback. Condition: Very Good+. First Edition Thus. 326 pages; Clean and secure in original white wrappers printed in sky blue. A French translation from the Persian with scholarly notes. Divan-i Shams-i Tabrizi (The Works of Shams of Tabriz) is a collection of poems written by the Persian poet and Sufi mystic Mawlana Jalal-ad-Din Muhammad Balkhi, also known as Rumi. A compilation of lyric poems written in the Persian language, it contains more than 40,000 verses and over 3,000 ghazals. While following the long tradition of Sufi poetry, the poems in the Divan showcase Rumi s unique, trance-like poetic style. Although not a didactic work, the Divan still explores deep philosophical themes, particularly those of love and longing. In 1244 C.E, Rumi, then a jurist and spiritual counselor working at the behest of the Seljuk Sultan of Rūm, met a wandering Persian Sufi dervish named Shams-i Tabrizi in Konya. Shams became a spiritual teacher to Rumi, who previously had no background in poetics, and introduced him to music, sung poetry, and dance through Sufi samas. Shams abruptly left Konya in 1246 C.E, returned a year later, then vanished again in 1248 C.E, possibly having been murdered. During Sham s initial separation from Rumi, Rumi wrote poetic letters to Shams pleading for his return. Following Sham s second disappearance, Rumi returned to writing poetry lauding Shams and lamenting his disappearance. These poems would be collected after Rumi s death by his students as the Divan-i Shams-i Tabrizi. The Divan has influenced several poets and writers. American Transcendentalists such as Ralph Waldo Emerson and Walt Whitman were acquainted with the Divan, and were inspired by its philosophical mysticism. Many late Victorian and Georgian poets in England were also acquainted with Rumi from Nicholson s translation of the Divan.
