Nomination Form International Memory of the World Register Mathnawi-E Nomination form International Memory of the World Register Mathnawi-e-Mowlawi 2014 - 58 1.0 Summary (max 200 words) Mathnawi, as the magnum opus of Persian mystic literature, has been composed by Jalalludin Muhammad Balkhi - also known as Mowlana Rumi or Mowlawi - between years 660 to 666 AH (1261-1267 CE). Within the Six books that comprise this work, Mowlana recounts the passion of enlighten as a spark of fire caught by a reed. It burns away the essence of the Follower of the Way and points him toward recognition of absolute truth. In fact Mathnawi is the apex and culmination of mysticism. In Mathnawi, Mowlana symbolically expresses the basic issues of mysticism and Sufism, starting from the basics up to the Final Enlightenment of the Mystic. He uses the teachings of the holy canon, Quranic Verses, Holy narrations and tradition of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) and the ideas of past mystics. For each mystic subject, he refers to a fable or an allegory and notes the social and moral protocols sought by the Sufic elders. Mathnawi has been translated into Turkish, Urdu, Punjabi, Arabic, German, English, Bengali, Hungarian, Russian, Pashtu, Swedish, Sindi, Dutch, Kashmiri, Norse, Italian, Czech, French and polish. The present nomina tio n introduces seven outstanding manuscripts of Mathnawi. 2.0 Nominator 2.1 Name of nominator (person or organization) National Library and Archives of the Islamic Republic of Iran 2.2 Relationship to the nominated documentary heritage In 2012, The National Library and Archives of the Islamic Republic of Iran submitted a proposal to the national committee for the Memory of the World, to set in motion the process for recognition of Mowlawi’s Mathnawi.

Mowlana’s status in mystic literature is akin to that of Ferdowsi in epic poetry. His Mathnawi is one of the masterpieces of Persian poetry. Not only it has been studied by literary figures over the past seven centuries, but even common people have read and came to keep it in high regard. In Iranian houses you could usually find a copy of Mathnawi next to the Holy Quran. The dissemination of Mowlana’s manuscripts was confined to Asia Minor region for sometimes. Mowlana’s various biographies and Morals were written by people such as Aflaki and Soltan Valad –Mowlana’s own son- in Asia Minor.

  • Arta 2005.001
    ARTA 2005.001 St John Simpson - The British Museum Making their mark: Foreign travellers at Persepolis The ruins at Persepolis continue to fascinate scholars not least through the perspective of the early European travellers’ accounts. Despite being the subject of considerable study, much still remains to be discovered about this early phase of the history of archaeology in Iran. The early published literature has not yet been exhausted; manuscripts, letters, drawings and sculptures continue to emerge from European collections, and a steady trickle of further discoveries can be predicted. One particularly rich avenue lies in further research into the personal histories of individuals who are known to have been resident in or travelling through Iran, particularly during the 18th and 19th centuries. These sources have value not only in what may pertain to the sites or antiquities, but they also add useful insights into the political and socio-economic situation within Iran during this period (Wright 1998; 1999; Simpson in press; forthcoming). The following paper offers some research possibilities by focusing on the evidence of the Achemenet janvier 2005 1 ARTA 2005.001 Fig. 1: Gate of All Nations graffiti left by some of these travellers to the site.
