Book Description
An antique leather-bound edition of The Rubáiyát of Omar Khayyám, published by Dodge in the early 20th century. Translated by Edward FitzGerald, this iconic work presents Persian quatrains that meditate on the impermanence of life, the inevitability of death, and the pursuit of pleasure and meaning. The elegant, lyrical style of FitzGerald’s translation brought the 11th-century poet to a Western audience, and this edition offers a beautifully aged artifact of that literary legacy.
Condition:
Fair to good condition for age. The leather binding shows clear signs of deterioration and fragility due to age. Pages are complete and legible, though fragile and yellowed. Due to the book’s delicate condition, handling and photography were kept to a minimum to preserve its integrity. Best suited for collectors, display, or careful archival appreciation.
See photos for details and please reach out if you have any further questions.
