After Rumi: The Mevlevis and Their World

The thirteenth-century Persian poet and scholar Rumi is revered to this day. Jamal J. Elias sheds light on the Sufi community he founded: the Mevlevis, whose devotion to Rumi was rooted in ideas of emotional affinity and reverence for his poetry. Over time, they also became the keepers of his legacy and the primary authorities on his works.
