Cloth, 8vo-over 7¾"-9¾" tall., Very Good Plus in Very Good jacket, [ED: 1], Persian Poetry, Iranian Studies, This volume in the 'Persian Studies Monographs' series was the first study of Omar Khayyam in English by a Persian scholar. The book attempts to solve the intractable problem of how many quatrains attributed to Khayyam are authentic. The author draws up a list of about 100 quatrains that are in keeping with Khayyam's character and gives them here in a new translation, which is both elegant and accurate. The volume is soundly bound in blue cloth with silver lettering on spine and matching blue and white headband plus top-edge blue It comprises 276 pages including index and has a black and white portrait frontispiece of Omar Khayyam. There is slight rubbing on the bottom edge of spine, otherwise this is a nice bright copy in price-clipped dust-wrapper. The wrapper has slight edge-wear and the rear flap is a bit dust-marked and foxed-otherwise the wrapper too is bright and in very good condition for its age., London, [PU: George Allen & Unwin]<
