The Ruba'yat Of Omar Khayam (1899)

The Ruba'yat of Omar Khayyam is a collection of poems written by the Persian poet, mathematician, and astronomer Omar Khayyam. Originally written in Persian in the 11th century, the poems were later translated into English by Edward FitzGerald in 1859. This edition of the book, published in 1899, features FitzGerald's translation alongside illustrations by Edmund Dulac. The poems explore themes of love, mortality, and the meaning of life, often through the lens of wine and nature. The Ruba'yat has become a classic of English literature and is widely regarded as one of the greatest works of Persian poetry.With An Introduction.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
