The Mathnawi of Jalaluddin Rumi (5 volume set/ Translation & Commentary)

Mathnawi with 25,700 verses is in really a far more extensive work than the Faerie Queen with 33,500. On the other hand, it is easily surpassed in length by several Persian poems. The prose headings inserted at short intervals throughout the poem, transliterated words with the exception of proper names & all direct quotations from the Qur’an except such as occur in the headings are printed in italic. A few foot-notes have been added.
