Source text - Turkish Hammer, iki yüz İranlı şairi değerlendirdiği bu muhteşem eserinde Mevlânâ’ya toplam 35 sayfa yer vermektedir. Burada Hammer, Mesnevi’den ve Divan-ı Kebirden seçtiği birçok gazel ve rubai tercüme etmiş ve Mevlânâ’nın hayatı ve tefekkürü hakkında bilgiler vermektedir. Aslında pek lirik olmayan ve Mevlânâ’nın ilâhî coşkusunu yansıtmayan bu eserden, mutat olduğu üzere Hammer bir nüsha da Batı’nın şairler sultanı Johann Wolfgang von Goethe’ye göndermiştir. Goethe’nin Mevlânâ hakkındaki bilgileri esas itibariyle büyük ölçüde Hammer’in bu kitabına dayanmaktadır ve çok eksiktir. Hammer’den başka Hussard adında bir mütercim de Fundgruben des Orients (Şarkın Kültür Ambarı) adlı çok ilmî ve ciddi bir dergide Mesnevî’den ve Divan-ı Kebir’den bazı tercümeler sunmuştur. Mevlânâ’nın meşhur Bahar Kasidesi bunlar arasındadır. Goethe, zaman zaman çeşitli üniversitelerdeki şarkiyatçı profesörlerle de bir araya gelir ve klasik şarkî İslam şiirini tartışırdı. Demek oluyor ki Goethe, klasik İslâm şairlerini merak ediyor ve onları okumağa can atıyordu. Doğu Batı Divanı böyle bir tecessüsün eseridir
Translation - German In diesem großartigen Werk, in dem Hammer zweihundert iranische Dichter betrachtet, widmet er Mevlana insgesamt 35 Seiten. Hammer hat in diesem Werk sehr viele Liebesgedichte und Vierzeiler aus dem Mesnevi und dem Divan-ı Kebir übersetzt und informiert über das Leben und Gedankengut Mevlanas. Von diesem Werk, das eigentlich weder sehr lyrisch ist noch die göttliche Begeisterung Mevlanas widerspiegelt, hat Hammer ein Exemplar auch Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, dem größten aller Dichter des Abendlandes, zukommen lassen. Goethes Wissen über Mevlana entspringt zum Großteil diesem Buch und ist sehr lückenhaft. Ein anderer Übersetzer namens Hussard hat in einer sehr wissenschaftlichen und seriösen Zeitschrift namens Fundgruben des Orients einige Übersetzungen aus dem Mesnevi und dem Divan-ı Kebir veröffentlicht. Darunter befindet sich auch das berühmte Bahar Kasidesi (Frühlingskasside) von Mevlana. Goethe kam von Zeit zu Zeit an verschiedenen Universitäten mit Professoren der Orientalistik zusammen und diskutierte über klassische, orientalistische Gedichte des Islam. Die bedeutet, dass Goethe an den klassischen Gedichten des Islam interessiert gewesen ist und große Begeisterung gezeigt hat, sie zu lesen. Der West-östliche Diwan ist ein Werk, das aus solch einer Neugier und Begeisterung heraus entstanden ist.
