Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam

And the

Salaman and Absal of Jami

Rendered into English Verse

Publisher: Bernard Quaritch, 1879, fourth edition, but the first to include Salaman and Absal. Translated by Edward Fitzgerald.  Bound in quarter black leather with maroon cloth boards.  Top edges gilt, titles in gilt on the spine.

Frontispiece, tailpiece decorations and all pages bordered make this a very attractive book. It is in very good ondition with a small area of staining at the lower inner corners of the first few pages and the last three pages (though much lighter at the end of the book).  There is also a little associated adhesion damage to the endpapers  and some mottling to the cloth.  Otherwise the book is clean and bright.

Includes lives of Omar Khayyam and Jami.

18cm, 7.25 inches, tall, xv, 112 pages.
