| Summary: | Many works have been written about the poet and mystic Rumi (d. 672/1273) and continue to be written. Among these, the main source of works that provide information about his life, world of thought, and those around him is undoubtedly the hagiography called “Risâla-i Sipahsâlâr der-Menâkib-i Hazret-i Khudâvendigâr” written by Majduddin Fereydoun bin Ahmed Sipehsalar. According to Sipahsalar he served in Rumi for forty years and the fact that what he said was based on his observations and narrations from people around him caused this work to occupy a distinguished place in Rumi studies. In addition,this author sheds light on the life of Sultanul-Ulama Bahauddin Wold, the father of Rumi, his genealogy, the reason for his departure from Balkh, the social and historical events of that period, the arrival of Shams in Konya and what happened after that. In this treatise, which consists of an introduction and three parts and is written in mixed prose and verse, poems from the works of many poets, especially Rumi’s Masnavi, Divan-i Shams-i Tabrizi, and Sultan Walad’s Waladnâme, are quoted in terms of their suitability to the context. In this study, the contribution of the couplets and ghazals quoted from Rumi’s works Masnavi and Divan-i Shams-i Tabrizi to the work and the evaluation of the events stated as the reason for some of these poems are emphasized. İn addition, the content, style and influence of the Sipahsalar Treatise on subsequent works are examined. |
