The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam: The Astromer Poet of Persia (The Persian Poets series)

[1913] 75pp, with gloriously illuminated double spread title page. Decorated card covers (worn and soiled, rubbed at corners and a little chipped around spine). 16mo. Endpapers marked and lightly spotted, else internally neat and clean. A little loose. A lovely vintage volume. The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam is the title given by FitzGerald to his 1859 translation from Persian into English of a series of quatrains attributed to Omar Khayyam (1048-1131), also known as the Astronomer-Poet of Persia. A hard to find edition of this classic work.
