Summary
Classical literature in oriental-Islamic languages belongs to a unique poetic system, even though it was created by various peoples with different experiences of literary traditions. The form of Masnavi is one of the most important forms in the entire oriental-Islamic literature. Literature historians believe that this form is originally Iranian, and it is a fact that the Iranians made their best works in this literary form. But, a careful poetological analysis, or investigating the form morphology, shows that Masnavi as a form excellently poetically communicates with experiences of literature in oriental-Islamic languages as a whole, in which it tremendously moves the borders of such experiences. The most famous work in that form is Rumi’s Masnavi, to which special attention is given in this paper, but from the point of view of poetology that explains the poetic position of poetology of Masnavi in the vast literary tradition. At the same time, this method determines complementary possibilities of Masnavi as such in the domain of the religious and literary expression. Also, such approach casts a new light onto famous Rumi’s very strict reviews about poetry in general.
