RUBAIYAT, a collection of rhymes, was originally written by Omar Khayyam of Persia, prior to his death in A.D.1123. In 1859, Edward FitzGerald, of England, published some of the work, but it went virtually unnoticed until 1929 when a copy sold for $8000.
Translated into English quatrains by Edward Fitzgerald. The stanza and meditations in this beautiful book are timeless. A complete reprint of the First Edition and the combined Third, Fourth and Fifth Editions, with an Appendix containing Fitzerald's Prefaces and Notes. Edited with an Introduction by Louis Untermeyer." Beautifully illustrated by Mahmoud Sayah.
Published by Random House, NY, 1947. Hard Cover. No Jacket. Over 73/4" - 93/4" tall.
A beautiful book from my grandmothers estate. |
