A Criticism Of The Fitzgerald Translation
Edward Fitzgerald s translation of The Rubaiyyat of Omar Khayyam is the most widely beblamed for turning this classic by the 11thcentury Persian mathematician
http://www.geocities.com/sitabhra/khayyam/fitz_crit.html

Extractions: If all translators are traitors, as goes the Italian saying ("traduttori traditori"), then what fate should we reserve for the individual who does a interpretive translation? And what if the translator is accused of interpolation? Edward Fitzgerald's translation of The Rubaiyyat of Omar Khayyam is the most widely read - and quoted - work of poetry from the Orient. There have been numerous editions since its first publication in 1858, many with illustrations that may be blamed for turning this classic by the 11th-century Persian mathematician, physicist and astronomer into a kind of erotica. The Rubaiyyat, for its length of 75 four-line "rubai" or stanzas, is perhaps the most frequent source of modern entries in English dictionaries of familiar quotations (35 citations in The Oxford Dictionary of Quotations, 33 in Bartlett's). The most famous,`` Thou beside me singing in the wilderness'' has been the subject of countless illustrations; and ``thou'' has always been depicted as a handsome young houri (maiden). The admirers of Khayyam may be loath to know that ``thou'' does not sing and is not a houri in the original, but merely his Sufi fellow-initiate with whom he meditates over a book of poems. In Fitzgerald's Rubaiyyat, a garden is the setting for the musings and the yearnings of the persona and an expression of his moods; in the original there is no garden at all and each ``rubai'' is an individual short poem, a kind of epigram.

Extractions: The land of Tajiks, as an Indo-European speaking people, is in the territory known since ancient times as Bactria, Maverannahr, the Parthian Kingdom and the Kingdom of Kharazm, the Kingdom of the Samanids and the states of Seleucids, Tamerlane, the Bukhara Emirate and the Kokand (Qoqand) Khanate once flourished in this region. The land of Tajiks is a land of ancient and highly developed culture. It gave the world many outstanding scientists and poets: Al-Khwarazmi, the 9th century mathematican and astronomer, Ibn-Sina, the physician and enlightener of the 10-th11th centuries, known in West as Avecenna; Rudaki, court poet in Bukhara in the time of the Samanids. Alisher Navoi, the great poet and philosopher of the past, lived and worked in Samarqand. Tajiks also venerate Firdausi, a poet and composer of the Shah-nameh (Book of Kings), the Persian national epic, and Omar Khayyam, of Rubaiyat fame, both born in present-day Iran but at a time when it was in the same empire as Tajikistan.
Euclid's Fifth Postulate

Extractions: Attempts to Prove It's hard to add to the fame and glory of Euclid who managed to write an all-time bestseller, a classic book read and scrutinized for the last 23 centuries. However insignificant the following point might be, I'd like to give him additional credit for just stating the Fifth Postulate without trying to prove it. For attempts to prove it were many and all had failed. By the end of the last century, it was also shown that the fifth postulate is independent of the remaining axioms, i.e., all the attempts at proving it had been doomed from the outset. Did Euclid sense that the task was impossible? The earliest source of information on attempts to prove the fifth postulate is the commentary of Proclus on Euclid's Elements . Proclus, who taught at the Neoplatonic Academy in Athens in the fifth century, lived more than 700 years after Euclid. Although an invaluable source for the history of mathematics, the

The great mathematician Omar Khayyam pondered this scale in two ways, one overt and one less so. First he pioneered a redesign of the Muslim calendar (the modern Muslim calendar is a lunar calendar not based on Khayyam's work), contemplating the minutiae of the imperfection of the then current system, finally coming up with a 33 year cycle of rhythms and leap years to be called the Jalili era after the Sultan. It was actually a little more accurate than the modern calendar we use today. The way to conceptualize such a long expanse of time, at least in the world of calendar reform, is to imagine slowly turning cycles that take so long to repeat that in each case they file off small imperfections in the calendar's precision. Khayyam's calendar loses a day every 5000 years (as opposed to 3,333 years for the Gregorian calendar to lose a day). Khayyam also considered this scale of time in a way he might have been surprised to have others notice. Looking back from his 11th century vantage point, he was aware of more than 20 centuries worth of man's assaults on the riddles of natural orderon back to the Ancient Greeks and even a little ways into the mists of language. This was because Khayyam, like many Persian scientists of his day, was truly the custodian of humankind's accumulated knowledge, even that which had developed in Europe proper. It was clear that virtually every European institution was vulnerable to oblivion in the Dark Ages. Though they were clearly more than just care takers, Khayyam and others seem to have been aware of this cultural responsibility. Khayyam, Avicenna, and the rest added to that knowledge as wellKhayyam made several contributions to algebra, although most of his mathematical work has been lost.
