The Rubáiyát is a selection of poetry by Persian philosopher, mathematician, and astronomer Omar Khayyám, compiled and translated by English poet Edward Fitzgerald. Though many others have translated their own versions of Khayyám’s poetry, Fitzgerald’s remains the most influential. This digital edition, which features artwork by Trizha Ko, is based on Fitzgerald’s second edition, published in 1868, and contains 110 quatrains, chosen from a body of work believed to consist of over a thousand four-line verses.
