  • Calc. = The quatrains in the Calcutta edition of A.H. 1252
  • R I = Rosen edition of 1925

  • R III = Third text in the Rosen edition of 1925
  • Whin = Whinfield edition, 1883

In his edition of 1927 Christensen examined 18 texts in order to develop a method to decide which quatrains could be ascribed to Khayyám. For this project I have selected the quatrain numbers from the Bodleian MS, The Calcutta edition of 1252 AH., Rosen's edition of 1925 and Whinfield's edition of 1883.
For technical reasons the table only shows the corresponding texts of the 121 quatrains that Christensen considered genuine.
A complete list of the texts examined by Christensen is given on p. 15-18 of his study.
