The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam

Perhaps the most widely known poem in the world, the Rubaiyat has captured the imagination of millions of readers down the centuries. Its simple eloquence and lilting rhymes form an elegy to the transience of life and the beauty of human experience.  This collector’s edition, with page decorations throughout, contains a detailed introduction

to the poem by John Baldock and the text of all 101 ruba translated by Fitzgerald.
