UP FOR SALE: THE RUBAIYAT OF OMAR KHAYYAM LEATHERBOUND EDITION COPYRIGHT 1989 The Rubaiyat Of Omar Khayyam is a collection of four line verses, often known as quatrains in English. Each verse is a Rubai, meaning 4 in Arabic and Farsi (Persian), and Rubaiyat is the Arabic plural for this word.

Beautiful soft leather edition of "The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam," translated by Edward Fitzgerald. Has a date of 1898, but feels more likely to have been published sometime in the early 1900s.
