Title Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam Author Omar Khayyam and Edward Fitzgerald Call Number N/A Location Other Rating Somewhat Recommended Book Review The edition of the Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam I own has all five English translations by Edward Fitzgerald. It's a translation of one of the Persian polymath and poet's poems. The poem focuses on life, death, and wine. The author took some translation liberties (even called out by the publisher over 100 years ago), so who knows how accurate the reading is.
