documentary heritage

    "In many of his ruba'is Omar clearly proves that the modern pessimist is by no means a novel creature in the realm of philosophic thought and poetic imagination. . . Using the whole mystic terminology simply to ridicule mysticism itself." - p.iii

  • Subject Notes
    Omar Khayyam of Nishapur, Persian mathematician, astronomer, free thinker and epigrammatist. Omar's great scientific fame, is nearly eclipsed by his still greater poetical renown, which he owns to his Ruba'is or quatrains, of about 500 epigrams.
