The Rubáiyát of Omar Khayyám is the title that Edward FitzGerald gave to his translation of a selection of poems, originally written in Persian and of which there are about a thousand, attributed to Omar Khayyám (1048-1131), a Persian poet, mathematician and astronomer. A ruba'i is a two-line stanza with two parts (or hemistichs) per line, hence the word rubáiyát (derived from the Arabic language root for "four"), (18 May 1048 4 December 1131), commonly known as Omar Khayyam (Persian:) was a Persian polymath, mathematician, astronomer, historian, philosopher, and poet. He was born in Nishapur, the initial capital of the Seljuk Empire. As a scholar, he was contemporary with the rule of the Seljuk dynasty around the time of the First Crusade.

Sharp very good example of this rare illustrated edtion from Thomas Y. Crowell of New York. Apprx. 100 pages. Insured post. In eleventh century Persia, there lived a mathematician named Ghiyathuddin Abulfath Omar bin Ibrahim al-Khayyami - or, Omar Khayyam, son of Abraham, the tent-maker. Omar wrote poetry, and while his rhymes received scant attention in their day, they were discovered and translated into beautiful English more than seven centuries later by a gentleman and scholar named Edward FitzGerald. It was a meeting of minds, a great collaboration of the past and the present, and FitzGerald's rendition of those passionate verses has become one of the most loved poem cycles in the English language. With their concern for the here and now, as opposed to the hereafter, Omar Khayyam's quatrains are as romantic today as they were hundreds of years ago. They are a tribute to the power of one moment's pleasure over a lifetime of sorrow, of desire over the vicissitudes of time. Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam, presented here with Edward FitzGerald's original preface, is truly a classic, and it will stand forever as one of our finest monuments to love. Omar Khayyam (May 18, 1048 - December 4, 1131) was a Persian mathematician, astronomer, philosopher, and poet. He was born in Nishabur, in northeastern Persia, and spent most of his life near the court of the Karakhanid and Seljuq rulers in the period which witnessed the First Crusade. As a mathematician, he is most noted for the classification and solution of cubic equations, where he provided geometric solutions. As an astronomer, he designed the Jalali calendar, a solar calendar with a precise thirty-three year cycle. There is a tradition of attributing poetry to Omar Khayyam, written in the form of quatrains. This poetry became widely known to the English-reading world in a translation by Edward FitzGerald (Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam, 1859), which enjoyed great success in the Orientalism of the fin de siècle.

Emily Swinton (illustrateur). Magnificent illuminated manuscript version of the Rubaiyat, or some verses from the Rubaiyat. The illuminated borders are singular -- their design is unlike that we are familiar with, and not even vaguely similar to anything we have ever seen produced by a latter-day illuminator, professional or amateur. Their tracery is of blues, greens, reds, some yellow in a few instances, and not least, the all important gilt. The illuminator surely was paying homage to some Islamic and Persian illumination in her palette, but overall these sources are but influences; the illuminations are far from merely imitative. The design pulls you in, and as one gazes longer one will discover small figurative imagery woven into the lines and swirls of the larger ornamentation. Words are beyond us to come close to capturing their complexity and character -- our photos hopefully will impart something of that. Let us just say the colors are deep and bold. Within these extraordinary borders is the calligraphic text rendered in a stunning, easily legible Gothic Fraktur script. And there are four dream-like miniature watercolors as well of scenic Persian villages. N.d., circa early 1920s. 4to. 28.5 by 19 cm. Unpaginated, 14 leaves with illumination -- illumination on one side. The back side of the leaf then left blank. Tissue guards for each page with illumination. The first leaf has no text -- it is a rectangular abstract design suggestive perhaps of a spectacular rug and inspired by such illuminated painting as one finds in many an antiquarian Koran. The next leaf is the title page with the words appearing to float on the page. The lettering has a distinctive verticality, and the gilt letters are both clearly the letters they are supposed to be but have an abstraction that one can imagine they are Arabic script as well. The last two leaves, with a more restrained, formalistic illumination, has evenly spaced dome-shaped pointers as one finds in Koranic decoration to highlight important passages. The binding, slipcase and chemise are functional but don't really do the contents justice. Other than some crease marks on the calf and light wear overall to these protective features, the binding and slipcase present no issues. Full Limp Red Calf. Slipcase -- marbled paper pastedown on all sides other than opening. Chemise or inner folder -- thick glossy card stock, all sides, other than that has red calf, with title label.
