Sobre IBD

Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam is the title that Edward FitzGerald gave to his translation of a selection of poems, originally written in Persian and of which there are about a thousand, attributed to Omar Khayyám (1048-1131), a Persian poet, mathematician and astronomer. A Persian ruba’i is a two line stanza with two parts (or hemistechs) per line, hence the word 'Rubaiyat', (derived from the Arabic root word for 4), meaning 'quatrains'.
