Description from the seller
"Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam" translated by Edward Fitzgerald and ill. by Edmund Dulac - Garden City, NY - 1937 de luxe edition - 20cmx15cm - condition: good, in original binding, with all Dulac plates present, in original slipcase, split at sides.
The Rubáiyát of Omar Khayyám is an 1859 translation from Persian to English by Edward FitzGerald of a selection of quatrains (rubāʿiyāt) 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 siècle cult of the Rubaiyat".[1]
FitzGerald's work has been published in several hundred editions and has inspired similar translation efforts in English, Hindi and many other languages.
