David Eugene Smith was a mathematician and historian of mathematics. His unsurpassed mathematical book collection, given to Columbia University, included a manuscript of Khayyam's algebra and another of the Rubaiyat. Information on the artist Rassam Arjangi is available on the Internet, also with the spelling of the family name as Arzhangi. We quote from a website devoted to this artistic family: "Abbas Rassam Arjangi (1892-1975) was born in Tabriz and like his father and brother studied art in Russia. He attended Academies of Art in Moscow, Baku and Tbilisi, specializing in painting and sculpture. Rassam became a pioneer in the effort to combine academic European techniques with the traditional Iranian style of painting and manuscript illustration.". Signed by Author(s).
