TheRubaiyat of Omar Khayyam is one of the most famous works of Persian literature. These two editions are from the Peter Pauper Press. The first (1940) is illustrated by Paul McPharlin with border designs by Carl Cobbledick, who was inspired by ancient Persian manuscripts. The other (1949) is illustrated by Vera Bock, a Russian illustrator. These translations were both done by Edward Fitzgerald, but the McPharlin/Cobbledick edition is from Fitzgerald’s first-edition text, while the Bock is from the fourth edition. These are just two of the many beautiful editions of the Rubaiyat!
