New edition of Rumi’s Divan-e Kabir unveiled in Tehran
A new edition of Rumi’s Divan-e Kabir was unveiled at the University Publishing Center Conference Hall in Tehran. Türkiye’s Ambassador to Tehran, Professor Hicabi Kırlangıç, said the edition resolved some ambiguities in the work and included translations of Turkish, Arabic and Greek expressions.
A new edition of Rumi’s Divan-e Kabir was unveiled at the University Publishing Center Conference Hall in Tehran during a ceremony highlighting assessments of the shared cultural heritage of Türkiye and Iran.
Türkiye’s Ambassador to Tehran, Professor Hicabi Kırlangıç, the Embassy’s Education Counsellor Associate Professor Umut Başar and numerous academics attended the event.
Kırlangıç said the new edition was based on the previous work and included various explanations. He said some erroneous entries in earlier editions had been corrected, ambiguous passages had been clarified and some unknown words had been explained in footnotes.
One of the edition’s notable features is the inclusion of translations of Turkish, Arabic and Greek expressions and verses. Kırlangıç said this feature made an important contribution to the work.
Türkiye and Iran’s shared cultural heritage
Describing Divan-e Kabir as a joint work of Iran and Türkiye and a Persian work that emerged in Anatolia, Kırlangıç said the Masnavi is read more widely in Iran, while Divan-e Kabir is a more difficult and different work. He said the new edition had helped bring the work back to the attention of readers in Iran.
Kırlangıç said the work had once again highlighted the cultural ties between Türkiye and Iran. He noted that cultural relations were deeper than and extended beyond the ups and downs of political relations.
Başar also said the ties between Iran and Türkiye were not limited to their status as neighbours and that the two countries shared a common cultural heritage. He said Iranians and Turks had been interacting with each other for approximately 1,000 years, describing the two societies as members of a shared culture.
Başar said cultural relations had continued for centuries beyond political relations. He added that although political relations could undergo periodic changes, what mattered was companionship and partnership.
