Sina'i [ca. 1960] - III

RUBÁIYÁT OF OMAR KHAYYÁM IN PERSIAN, ENGLISH, FRENCH, GERMAN, URDU. Preparation and arrangement by Mohsen Ramezani. [Tehran], Kitabkhanah-'i Sina'i, [ca. 1960].

This edition has a similar outline as the first volume discussed above: one or two original Persian texts of the quatrains, interspersed with pages showing separate quatrains in various languages. The polyglot section is preceded by the text of FitzGerald’s fifth edition.

English French German

The English quatrains follow FitzGerald’s first edition (1859) in their right order, so no table is required.

Number of quatrains:
FitzGerald (1859) - 75

The quatrains in the French section are taken from E. Dulac’s translation into French of the quatrains from the second edition by FitzGerald, published in 1910. However, one of the 75 quatrains is a translation by E’tessam-Zadeh from his edition of 1931, i.e. number 45 (E’tessam-Zadeh number 19).

Number of quatrains:
Dulac (1910) - 74
E'tessam-Zadeh (1931) - 1
