Abstract
Jalal al-Din Fereydun, known as Amir Aref (670-719 AH), was the son of Sultan Walad and the grandson of Jalal al-Din Rumi. His mother was Fatima Khatun, the daughter of Salah al-Din Zarkub. After the death of his father, Baha al-Din Walad, Aref Chalabi became the spiritual leader of the Mevlevi order. Like his father and grandfather, he was also a poet, with most of his poetry being imitative of Rumi's style. A small divan of his poetry, consisting of ghazals and quatrains, has survived. The first edition of Amir Aref Chalabi’s divan was published in Konya in 2013 by two Turkish scholars, and this edition was later republished in Iran with additional notes and a translated introduction by Tawfiq Sobhani. This paper critiques the editing of both the Konya and Tehran editions.
