Intellectually Khayyam considered himself a student of Avicenna (Ibn Sina).
There is a tradition of attributing poetry to Omar Khayyam, written in the form of quatrains ( rubāʿiyāt). 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 last part of XIX century.
