ASTRONOMICAL REFERENCES IMAD-AD-DEAN AHMAD Minaret of Freedom Institute 4323 Rosedale Avenue Bethesda, MD 20814 USA Delivered to the Third International Conference on the Inspiration of Astronomical Phenomena, Mondell, Sicily, January, 2001 ABSTRACT. Omar Khayyam was both an astronomer and a poet. We examine the astronomical references in different translations of his poetry and in Elihu Vedder's illustrations of the first American edition of Edward Fitzgerald's famous translation as the takeoff points for discussing the controversy as to the meaning of his poetry and the differences in culture between 11th-century Iran where he wrote them and 19th-century Britain and America where Fitzgerald and Vedder respectively were born. Coming from a society in which science and religion are viewed as antagonists, Fitzgerald misconstrued Omar’s poetry as a materialist diatribe against religious belief. Like all great poetry, Omar’s verse is so deep and so rich in meaning that it can be understood on many different levels and in different ways. Thus, many people from atheists to Christian clerics, from materialists to mystics, have professed that Omar is one of them. Speaking as an astronomer, I can say without fear of contradiction, that Omar was definitely "one of us." For that reason it is appropriate for this meeting to take a look at the astronomical allusions in his poetry and compare how their interpretation is affected by cultural context. I here focus on the literary translations of the Iranian-American scholar Ahmad Saidi (1991) and the British poet Edward Fitzgerald and the artistic interpretations of the American artist Elihu Vedder who illustrated the first American edition of the Rubaiyat (Fitzgerald 1884). Given the location of this conference, I should mention that Vedder executed his illustrations during his lengthy stay in Italy in the early 1880’s. My research has also been informed by reviewing a number of literal translations, notably those of Graves and Ali-Shah (1967) and Arberry (1952).

4. Rubaiyat Of Omar Khayyam -- UMKC Miller Nichols Library: Special Collections Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam. Omar Khayyam was an 11th century Persian mathematician, astronomer, and poet FitzGerald as The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam, the astronomerpoet of Persia http://www.umkc.edu/lib/spec-col/rubaiyat.htm

UMKC MERLIN Catalog Site Map Search Site ... Just for You Special Collections Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam Omar Khayyam was an 11th century Persian mathematician, astronomer, and poet. He was recognized during his own lifetime for his scientific achievements, including reform of the Seljuq calendar based on astronomical observations. His western fame is based largely upon the edition of selected quatrains freely translated into English by Edward FitzGerald as The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam, the astronomer-poet of Persia , published in London by Bernard Quartich, March 1859. FitGerald's collection of Omar Khayyam's lyric verses contains phrases that are now standard quotations, including the famous line, "A Jug of Wine, a Loaf of Bread and Thou." FitzGerald's slender pamphlet contained 150 quatrains, and scholars have attributed at least 250 authentic rubaiyats or quatrains to Omar Khayyam. UMKC's Rubaiyatiana collections are comprised of two separate collections. The major collection of Rubaiyats is housed in the Diastole Conference Center on the UMKC Hospital Hill campus. The second collection of Rubaiyats was given by other Kansas City book collectors such as Lyle Kennedy. Dr. E. Grey Dimond is the emeritus Provost for Health Sciences and was instrumental in the establishment of the UMKC School of Medicine (1971). During his army service, the Rubaiyat captured Dr. Dimond's attention. Dr. Dimond was given his first copy of FitzGerald's Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam by Colonel Berle, who related a tragic story of a woman who died of a heart disease. Her sole possession was a copy of the Rubaiyat. From that time on, Dr. Dimond continued to search for editions of the Rubaiyat. The E. Grey Dimond Collection of Rubaiyats is located at the Diastole Center.

Choyhona Chat Discussion Forum Useful Downloads Search Engine ... Museums Omar Khayyam Omar Khayyam was born at Nishapur in Khorassan in the second half of 11th century and died within the first quarter of 12th century. It is quite appropriately claimed that Khayyam was the poet of destiny. However, it will be very wrong of us to think that he was a fatalist, at least by the common understanding and definitions that we have of this word. There are two different thoughts about Khayyam's poems. One is that he was highly influenced by Islamic sufism, and his references to wine and lovers are allegorical representations of the mystical wine and divine love. Yet another type of thought is that Khayyam understood his mortality and inability to look beyond, and his references to wine and lovers are very literal and sensual. Khayyam was a genius of his time. He was a counsel to ministers and kings. He was mathematician, who presented solutions to problems that were centuries ahead of his time. He was astronomer who calculated the duration of the solar year within unmatched accuracy, at least unmatched until this century. A man who has done so much in his life is clearly not a mystical fatalist claiming “what will be, let it be!” In fact, he saw the folly of being mesmerized by such techniques, which may bring amazing visions of reality, but so long as they remain visions, they are not and cannot be truth, the reality itself.

The political events of the 11th century played a major role in the course of Khayyam's life. The Seljuq Turks were tribes that invaded southwestern Asia in the 11th century and eventually founded an empire that included Mesopotamia, Syria, Palestine, and most of Iran. The Seljuq occupied the grazing grounds of Khorasan and then, between 1038 and 1040, they conquered all of north-eastern Iran. The Seljuq ruler Toghrïl Beg proclaimed himself sultan at Nishapur in 1038 and entered Baghdad in 1055. It was in this difficult unstable military empire, which also had religious problems as it attempted to establish an orthodox Muslim state, that Khayyam grew up. Khayyam studied philosophy at Naishapur and one of his fellow students wrote that he was:-
