Masnavi
The
Masnavi or
Masnavi I Ma'navi (also translated as
Mathnawi or
Mesnevi) is a six book collection of texts, poems, teaching stories and prayers written in Persian by
Jalal al-Din Muhammad Rumi the well known
Sufi saint and
poet. Considered by some to be the most important work of literature in the
Moslem world outside the
Koran when it was first translated into English many passages were translated into Latin as the passages would have been scandalous in
Victorian England due to the ribald and salacious nature of some of Rumi's writings.
