The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam is the title Edward Fitzgerald gave to his translation. Translation from Persian to English by Fitzgerald was completed in 1859 and are selections from Omar Khayyam, "the Astronomer Poet of Persia". Khayyam was an astronomer and mathematician, not necessarily a poet but his poetry was found after his death. His "quatrains" have been translated in many languages.
