Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam
There is a tradition of attributing poetry to Omar Khayyam, written in the form of quatrains ("rubāʿiyāt" ). This poetry became widely known to the English-reading world in a translation by Edward FitzGerald ("Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam", 1859), which enjoyed great success in the Orientalism of the fin de siècle.
