Hard Cover. Condition: Very Good. No Jacket. Reissue. Lacks slipcase. 1947 Hard Cover. xxii, 149 pp. 8vo. Decorated black and red cloth, gilt titles, illustrated endpapers. Beautiful color illustrations by Mahmoud Sayah, decorative margins. Edited with an introduction by Louis Untermeyer. Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam is the title that Edward FitzGerald gave to his 1859 translation from Persian to English of a selection of quatrains attributed to Omar Khayyam (1048?1131), dubbed "the Astronomer-Poet of Persia". Although commercially unsuccessful at first, FitzGerald's work was popularised from 1861 onward by Whitley Stokes, and the work came to be greatly admired by the Pre-Raphaelites in England. FitzGerald had a third edition printed in 1872, which increased interest in the work in the United States. By the 1880s, the book was extremely popular throughout the English-speaking world, to the extent that numerous 'Omar Khayyam clubs' were formed and there was a 'fin de siecle cult of the Rubaiyat.' FitzGerald's work has been published in several hundred editions and has inspired similar translation efforts in English, Hindi and in many other languages.

Hard Cover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. Reissue. Includes publisher's slipcase. Spine faded, slipcase corners a bit rubbed. 1947 Hard Cover. xxii, 149 pp. Illustrated by Mahmoud Sayah with decorative margins. Omar Khayyam, Persian mathematician, astronomer, and poet, renowned in his own country and time for his scientific achievements but chiefly known to English-speaking readers through the translation of a collection of his rob???y?t ('quatrains') in The Rubáiyát of Omar Khayyám (1859), by the English writer Edward FitzGerald. His name Khayyam (?Tentmaker?) may have been derived from his father?s trade. He received a good education in the sciences and philosophy in his native Neysh?b?r before traveling to Samarkand (now in Uzbekistan), where he completed the algebra treatise, Ris?lah fi?l-bar?h?n ?al? mas??il al-jabr wa?l-muq?balah (?Treatise on Demonstration of Problems of Algebra?), on which his mathematical reputation principally rests. In this treatise he gave a systematic discussion of the solution of cubic equations by means of intersecting conic sections. Perhaps it was in the context of this work that he discovered how to extend Abu al-Waf??s results on the extraction of cube and fourth roots to the extraction of nth roots of numbers for arbitrary whole numbers n. - Britannica.
