Abstract :

  The Turkish baths are quite identical to Iranian baths regarding their architectural stractures and institutions. Hamāmm is often present in the works of Mowlānā Jalāl-al Din Rumī. According to the scripts and old tales, he spent most of his time meditating in baths. In his poetry, espicelly Masnavī Manavī, Mowlānā refers to dallāk (the person who helped wash clients by soaping and scrubbing their bodies), apodyterium (changing room), tepidarium (heated room), caldarium (hot bathing room) and etc. The present article entertains this very subject.
