Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam: In English Verse (1888) is a collection of poems originally written by the Persian poet and mathematician Omar Khayyam in the 11th century. This particular edition of the Rubaiyat has been translated into English verse by Edward FitzGerald. The poems are written in the form of quatrains (four-line stanzas) and explore themes such as love, mortality, and the meaning of life. The translator, FitzGerald, was heavily influenced by the Romantic movement and his translation reflects this with its emphasis on the beauty and transience of life. The Rubaiyat has become a classic of English literature and is widely regarded as one of the greatest works of poetry in the English language.And A Biographical Preface.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

Autorenporträt
Omar Khayyam (1048 - 1131) was a Persian mathematician, astronomer, and poet. As a mathematician, he is most notable for his work on the classification and solution of cubic equations, where he provided geometric solutions by the intersection of conics. As an astronomer, he composed a calendar which proved to be a more accurate computation of time than that proposed five centuries later by Pope Gregory XIII. Omar was born in Nishapur, in northeastern Iran. He spent most of his life near the court of the Karakhanid and Seljuq rulers in the period which witnessed the First Crusade. 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 due to the translation by Edward FitzGerald (Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam, 1859), which enjoyed great success in the Orientalism of the fin de siècle.
