Description: From Introduction: The path that led to Edward Fitzgerald’s (1809-1883) first acquaintance Omar Khayyám began when he met a young oriental scholar, Edward Byles Cowell, who encouraged him to learn Persian and Spanish. He studied Persian under Cowell at Oxford and began to translate the ancient Persian poets. …Fitzgerald had a small edition of 240 copies published privately and anonymously in 1859. … Here we print the fifth and last edition of 1889, published six years after his death, and, at last, with the translator’s name. It seems right that this should be the definitive version of Edward Fitzgerald’s Rubáiyát. Lynette Hemmant, May 1979 Circulation: 4000 copies Condition is good. Has previous owner’s inscription to friends. No marks to text. No folded pages. Dustjacket has edge wear, see pics. Does have rub/skin to back of dustjacket near lower spine.
