Why was it added to Rūmī&rsquo;s Mathnawī? What were its implications in the Mevlevī centers in 17th-century Ottoman society or in Persian speaking societies in India and Iran? Was Book Seven added on the Indian subcontinent or in the Ottoman Empire? Bio: Eliza Tasbihi is a Researcher, Lecturer, and the Specialized Cataloguing Editor for Islamic Manuscripts at McGill University. Her research specializations are early modern Islamicate intellectual history and theology with a focus on textual analysis of Sufi literature and theological writings in Ottoman and Persian, Iran, and the broader Persianate world up to the 19th century. She has published on Sufism, theology, Persian literature, specifically Rūmī&rsquo;s Mathnawī and its reception in the Persianate world, as well as on classical, medieval, and early modern Sufism. https://mcgill.academia.edu/ElizaTasbihi745080
