Published by the Georgian Academy of Sciences (Metsniereba) in highly restricted print runs of 1,300 and 1,500 copies, these monographs represent a pinnacle of Soviet Caucasian Oriental studies. The first volume (1979) provides a deep philosophical and literary analysis of Jalal al-Din Rumi, dissecting his worldview, poetry, and immense influence on Islamic mysticism. The second volume (1985) is dedicated to Yunus Emre, the pioneer of Turkish folk poetry and Sufi mysticism, offering critical insights into his language, themes, and historical context. Javelidze's work is celebrated for integrating rigorous philological research with profound philosophical interpretation, bridging Georgian, Russian, and Turkish academic traditions. The presence of the author's authentic presentation inscriptions in both volumes significantly elevates their collector's value, transforming a specialized Turkological set into a unique association copy. These books are essential for scholars of Sufism, Turkology, and the history of Middle Eastern literature.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Stanza Rare Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44523763007530,"sku":null,"price":160.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0701\/6359\/5306\/files\/IMG_5603.jpg?v=1782849095","url":"https:\/\/stanzararebooks.com\/products\/signed-javelidze-elizbar-at-the-sources-of-turkish-literature-volumes-1-2-u-istokov-turetskoy-literatury-turk-edebiyati-baslangic-devri-1979-1985-in-russian","provider":"Stanza Rare Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
