EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative hand-colored copperplate engraving, two Sufi Dervish devotees are depicted in the midst of their prayer rituals within a Dervish lodge. The first figure, with his long hair tied to the ceiling with a cord, is identified as a Mawlawi or Rumi Dervish, a member of the Mevlevi Order, one of the most famous and widespread Sufi brotherhoods in the Islamic world. The second figure, with a band around his hands and knees, and holding prayer beads, is identified as a Tawagozi or Seeker, a disciple seeking spiritual enlightenment through the teachings and practices of the Mevlevi Order. The image captures the essence of Sufi devotion, with its focus on the inner spiritual journey towards union with the divine. The Dervishes' intense concentration and surrender to the divine are palpable, as they engage in the spiritual practices of prayer, meditation, and dance. The tall, conical hats they wear, known as the "Sekke" or "Sikke," symbolize the tomb of the Prophet Muhammad and serve as a reminder of the connection between the Sufi and the Prophet. The circular arrangement of the figures, with the musicians and their instruments in the background, suggests the communal nature of Sufi gatherings, where music and dance play an essential role in the spiritual experience. The musicians, with their drums, psaltery, and sistrum, provide the accompaniment for the Dervish dance, or "Ballo dei Dervisch," a whirling ritual that symbolizes the Sufi's spiritual ascent towards the divine. This engraving, taken from Giulio Ferrario's "Costumes Ancient and Modern of the Peoples of the World," published in Florence in 1842, offers a fascinating glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of the Ottoman Empire and the Sufi tradition. The intricate details and vibrant colors of the hand-coloring bring the scene to life, transporting us to another time and place, and inviting us to contemplate the enduring power of spiritual devotion.
