Copertina rigida. Condition: Ottimo. [84] p. : ill. ; 28 x 21 cm. Le «Rub?ayyat o Quartine» sono una raccolta di poesie composte nell'XI secolo dal matematico e poeta persiano ?Umar Khayyam. Questa versione di 75 quartine sono state tradotte in inglese da Edward Fitzgerald nel 1859, offrendo una interpretazione in chiave edonistica ed epicurea (sebbene l'etica epicurea, storicamente ed al contrario di quanto afferma la comune vulgata, sia in verità ascetica, volta all'azzeramento di quei fattori che tormentano la mente ed il corpo) ottenendo - malgrado la loro scarsa fedeltà al testo originario - una vasta popolarità che finì per oscurare la profonda attività scientifica di Khayyam. . Legatura editoriale, coperta illustrata a colori in cartone rigido, titolo in oro al dorso, muto il piatto. All'interno 8 tavole illustrate a colori. Frontespizio ornato con cornice di colore oro.

Not much is known about the mysterious artist Hamzeh Carr, however curator Terry Wilfong (Kelsey Museum of Archaeology, University of Michigan) speculates that although Carr was long thought to be a local Egyptian artist, Wilfong's preliminary research has indicated that he was an Englishman working under a pseudonym, a convert to Islam, and a follower of Theosophy.

Two Lane order brochures for other titles laid in. Bi-lingual. A John Lane book but printed in Boston. " [Omar] was an Oriental, and it is sadly difficult for a Westerner to interpret what an Oriental says. His words may have a specious sound, familiar to the ear, but may hide a meaning which he would not care for the uninitiated to understand. . It is plain, therefore, that one is at liberty to choose between the literal and the allegorical reading of 'Umar's graceful and often epigrammatic lines. Frederick Baron Corvo shows that he is a masterly translator. He often penetrates through the decorative filigree of the French style to something approaching 'Umar's own marvellous concentration condensation." - Introduction. J. B. Nicolas considered himself "Soufique". This edition was printed in Boston, and was issued one day before the British edition.
