Rumi's great book of wisdom-infused poetry contain myriad lessons
on the importance of faith, with the culture and lessons of
spiritual, Biblical and Islamic teachings featuring strongly. In
authoring his masterwork, Rumi quoted the Qu'ran, the Bible and
several spiritual forebears. Wishing to align his poetry in order
to tell tales of man and man's place in the world, Rumi drew upon a
variety of religious and spiritual sources to create a poetic
compendium of supreme profundity and depth. The Masnavi was praised
as one of the finest works of mystical literature ever seen. It is
in the Masnavi that Persia's place between the spiritual cultures
of Asia and the Middle East is evidenced. Rumi himself, while
undoubtedly an Islamic scholar of great ability, did not feel
confined to the faith; he saw spiritual value in a range of
disciplines, and asserted that the light of Mohammed's prophecy
does not leave faithful Christians, Jews, Zoroastrians or other
denominations behind.
This set demonstrates the increasing interest among Western people
paid to civilisation in the East at the turn of the 19th century.
Included are Kishio Satomi's studies on Nichiren and Japanese
idealism, which were written from an Eastern viewpoint specifically
for a Western audience. Also reprinted here is Chamberlain's
translation from classical Japanese poetry which offers one of the
first known attempts to interpret the literature of the Japanese to
the Western world.

Rumi was probably born on 30 September 1207 in the province of
Balkh in the district of Wakhsh in Khorasan (now in modern
Afghanistan/Tajikistan). He died on 17 December 1273 in Konya in
Seljuqid Rum (now modern Turkey). He was laid to rest beside his
father, and over his remains a splendid shrine was erected. A
hagiographical account of him is described in Shams ud-Din Ahmad
Aflaki's Manaqib ul-Arifin (written between 1318 and 1353). This
hagiographical account of his biography needs to be treated with
care as it contains both legends and facts about Rumi. For example,
Professor Franklin Lewis, Chicago University, in the most complete
biography on Rumi has a separate section for the hagiographical
biography on Rumi and actual biography about him. -wikipedia
