Synopsis

Mevlevi Adab and Customs by Abdülbâki Gölpınarlı is a comprehensive sourcebook for the Mevlevî tradition, presenting its unique language, ceremonies, social customs, and beliefs. The Mevlevî Path originated with Mevlânâ Jalâluddîn Rûmî and evolved through the collective cultural and spiritual contributions of its initiates and institutions.


“The Mevlevî Tradition, for nearly seven centuries, represented Islamic civilization in the vast and fertile lands of the Ottomans, who ruled over three continents. Within its own aesthetic and technical values, it has left indelible marks on world civilization. It has produced magnificent musical works, nurtured renowned poets, created the finest handicrafts, and, at times, produced the most mystical works. It has fostered and developed the most humane emotions, expressed the deepest thoughts, resisted bigotry, and infused life with a taste that is both divine and human.”
~ Abdülbâki Gölpınarlı
