Description

1894 Rubaiyat Omar Khayyam Vedder Philosophy Persia Mysticism Poetry ART Nouveau

â€œWaste not your Hour, nor in the vain pursuit

Of This and That endeavor and dispute”

â€“ Omar Khayyam, Rubaiyat

The RubÃ¡iyÃ¡t of Omar KhayyÃ¡m is said to be one of the ten best known poems in the world, and probably the most popular piece of Middle Eastern literature in the Western World. There are hundreds of editions published from Fitzgeralds various translations alone. American symbolist artist Elihu Vedder (d.1923) is best known for his illustrations of the RubÃ¡iyÃ¡t which were some of the earliest examples of Art Nouveau in America. Vedder is also known for his mural work in Collis P. Huntingtons mansion, the Walker Art Gallery at Bowdoin College, and the Library of Congress.

This 1894 English edition is a beautiful printing of the RubaÌiyaÌt, featuring the famed Vedder illustrations. The collection of Persian stories dates to the 11th-century and covers a wide variety of topics including philosophy, mysticism, and Sufi and pre-Islamic beliefs.
