There are many sides to Jalal al-Din Rumi â€“ scholar, preacher, saint, mystic, love poet, didactic poet, and spiritual master â€“ but the version of him that became â€˜the best-selling poet in North Americaâ€™ lacks authenticity.This new anthology of Rumiâ€™s teachings is freshly translated and supplemented with commentaries, and also includes selected texts in Persian. The aim is to bring readers closer to his work's true, traditional meaning â€“ and to the man himself as a great Islamic scholar, teacher and saint.Besides illustrating the traditional basis of Rumiâ€™s teachings, this Treasury displays his unique genius as one of the worldâ€™s greatest religious writers, whose voice speaks as clearly and compellingly today as in the 7th/13th century.â€˜Everyone has, in their view, become my close friendbut they have not sought out the secrets within me.â€™â€” RumiAbout the AuthorDr. Muhammad Isa Waley is an editor, researcher, and translator. He worked for 45 years as curator of Persian and Turkish manuscripts and books, first at the British Museum and then at the British Library.

His published translations include Al-Arbaâ€˜in (Chihil Kalima) of â€˜Abd al-Rahman Jami, and Mawlid al-Barzanji: a Paean on the Blessed Prophetâ€™s Birth..
