The Rubaiyat is a series of quatrains, sparkling with witty epigrammatic observances on life and filled with exquisite, oriental imagery. This book uses the Fitzgerald translation and beautiful Katchadourian illustrations. The book is a translation of a selection of poems, originally written in Persian and numbering about a thousand, attributed to Omar Khayyám (1048-1131), a Persian poet, mathematician and astronomer. Each is a two-line stanza with two parts per line, hence the word rubayot, meaning "quatrains". A translation of the first version of 1859 is reproduced in the rear in 75 stanzas. A clean very presentable copy.

Edward FitzGerald, (born March 31, 1809, Bredfield, near Woodbridge, Suffolk, Eng. - died June 14, 1883, Merton, Norfolk), English writer, best known for his Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam, which, though it is a very free adaptation and selection from the Persian poet's verses, stands on its own as a classic of English literature. It is one of the most frequently quoted of lyric poems, and many of its phrases, such as 'A jug of wine, a loaf of bread, and thou' and 'The moving finger writes,' passed into common currency. - Britannica.
