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.

Omar Khayyám (1048-1131) was a Persian mathematician, astronomer, philosopher, and poet. Edward FitzGerald (1809-83) was homosexual & originally translated The Rubáibyát of Omar Khayyam in 1859, out of consolation for the departure of his friend, Edward Cowell (the friend who had encouraged his first attempts at translating) to India. Illustrated by Willy Pogany (1882-1955), a Hungarian and a prolific & highly sought-after illustrator of children's and other books. Pogany credits his publisher, Harrap, with giving him his "first big chance." His second book for Harrap, an earlier version of the Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam, printed in 1909, established his reputation as a book illustrator.
