【Summary】
This three-volume work continues and completes the author’s pioneering research on the semantic structure of Rumi’s Masnavī. Building on the methodological foundations established in the first volume, the study applies a holistic textual approach grounded in parallelism and cross-reflective analysis to reveal the internal organization of Book Two.
Through the principle of thematic unity of narratives, the author uncovers the hidden structural relationships among stories that appear fragmented at the surface level. The study demonstrates that despite consisting of 61 stories and 111 sections, Book Two is in fact organized into 12 coherent thematic discourses, each with a clearly defined beginning and conclusion.
This work establishes Book Two of the Masnavī as a deliberately structured intellectual text and constitutes a major contribution to contemporary Masnavī studies and Persian textual analysis.
