Hardcover. Zustand: Good. A nice-looking lot of eight different editions of the Sufi poet's best-loved, classic epic poem. The individual volumes are illustrated beautifully by a range of different artists and in multiple formats, but each is in hardcover format. The poet, Omar Khayyam (or Khayyami) was born, likely at Nishapur, in the Persian northeast, somewhere between about 1025 and 1050 A.D. His surname "Khayyam" means "tent-maker" in Persian, which might, like St. Paul/Saul, have denoted his father's vocation and major income-source. The lot is comprised of the following: 1) Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam, translated and edited by Edward FitzGerald, New York: E.P. Dutton, 1922, illustrated by Fish (the British artist Ann Harriet Fish). Preface to the First Edition included here. Possibly a variant binding but of a quite scarce and valuable edition.

Very Good condition decorated red and black cloth over boards, gilt lettering to spine. Light scuffing to spine foot, else quite sturdy of binding and attractive of interior. Illustrated duotone endpapers front and rear, fine full-color illustration at frontis, based on a translation of the First Edition and combinations of the third, fourth, and fifth editions. 147 [4] pp.; 4) Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam, London: Macmillan & Co., 1895, a Very Good condition exemplar in hardcover format, vanilla cloth over boards, short octavo in format, gilt-ruled front and rear, gilt lettering to spine.
