Masnavi

Rumi was a man weighing between 60 and 63 kilos, with a height of 160 and 165 centimeters, the head of the Rumi Museum in the Central Anatolian province of Konya has said.

Naci Bakırcı highlighted that he has come to this conclusion after examining Rumi's 19 clothes in the museum's inventory and some 18th-century drawings.

Mevlâna Jalaluddin Rumi, also known as Jalal ad-Din al-Rumi, a man of thought and a Sufi known all over the world for his teachings, has been commemorated on the 747th anniversary of his death.

A local Turkish municipality has been working on translating Mevlana Jalaluddin Rumi's Masnavi into several languages, aiming to make the 13th-century Sufi poet's masterwork available across the world.

Mevlana Jalaluddin Rumi's epic work, the "Masnavi," will soon be published in Kurdish and Ottoman Turkish following translation work by the Konya Metropolitan Municipality Cultural and Social Affairs Department.
