This is a book about mystic Sufi poetry, attributed to the 11th century poet anmathematician Omar Khayyam. This book was first translated in 1859 by the Englishman Edward FitzGerald and has been a source of controversy throughout the years regarding the authenticity of Khayyam’s authorship and the liberties FitzGerald took in translation. This information was provided by the previous Head of the University of Cincinnati Archives and Rare Books Library, Kevin Grace. This is the only copy at the Cincinnati and Hamilton County Public library and belongs to the Information and Reference department.
