On March 15, 1079, Sultan Jalal al-Din Malekshah Saljuqi (1072-1092) put Omar's corrected calendar into effect, as in Europe Julius Caesar had done in 46 B.C. with the corrections of Sosigenes , and as Pope Gregory XIII would do in February 1552 with Aloysius Lilius ' corrected calendar (although Britain would not switch from the Julian to the Gregorian calendar until 1751, and Russia would not switch until 1918).

    Extractions: Omar Khayyam Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam Introduction "Ah, make the most of what we yet may spend, Before we too into the Dust descend; Dust into Dust, and under Dust, to lie, Sans Wine, sans Song, sans Singer, and- sans End!" ( The Rubaiyat , XXIII) Omar Khayyam was born in Nishapur, Persia (now Iran) on 18 May 1040 although this is only a purported date and some claim that it was 1023. He studied geometry and astronomy and in Samarkand worked for the chief magistrate and the ruler of Bokhara, Shamsolmolk Nasr. He went on to enter the service of Saljuq Sultan Malekshah (who ruled between 1072 and 1092). He also traveled to Mecca and Baghdad before returning to Nishapur. With his great expertise in the study of the stars he helped to construct an observatory and compile a set of astronomical tables upon which was based a new calendar era. As such Khayyam’s contemporary reputation was as a scientist. Of the scientific works he produced some still survive. He died in December 1131, but again some historians have given a different date: 1123. Khayyam’s times were hazardous ones due to the Saljuq Turks who were finishing off their infiltration of Iran, Mesopotamia and Asia Minor when he was young and by the time he died they were completing their empire stretching from the River Oxus to Syria. In these turbulent times Khayyam’s verse gives the reader a sense of logic and clarity. The poems of

    Extractions: Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam Page 1 Page 2 Page 3 Page 4 ... Page 6 The Rubaiyat Depending on the sources of reference that one chooses, Omar Khayyam is believed to have composed somewhere between 200 and 600 Rubaiyat (quatrains). Some are known to be authentic and are attributed to him, while others seem to be combinations or corruption of his poetry, and whose origins are more dubious. The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam is among the few masterpieces that has been translated into most languages, including English, French, German, Italian, Russian, Chinese, Hindi, Arabic, and Urdu. The most famous translation of the Rubaiyat from Farsi into English was undertaken in 1859 by Edward J. Fitzgerald. It appears that in many of his translations, he has combined a few of the Rubaiyat to compose one, and sometimes it is difficult to trace and correspond the original to the translated version. However, he has tried his utmost to adhere to the spirit of the original poetry. The Farsi collection presented in this web page is almost universally believed to be authentic and or his own original composition. At this time, it does not include all the Rubaiyat, though a significant proportion. For the benefit of the non-Farsi speaking reader, I have included two translations. One is as a literal translation, with the aim of conveying the wording of the original poetry, leaving it to the reader to draw his/her own conclusions. And another is a "meaning" translation, with the intention of conveying the spirit of the poetry to the reader, (at least as understood by this author.)

    Extractions: Omar Khayyam (1048 - 1131) was een Arabisch geleerde en wiskundige die werd geboren in Khorasan, het huidige centraal-Iran. Ook was hij een verdienstelijk dichter. Hij leefde in een periode dat de Seltsjoeken de macht hadden in het Kaliefaat van Baghdad en was lange tijd in dienst van de grootvizier van de Seltsjoekische sultan Malik Sjah. Deze beoogde het stichten van een sterrenwacht in Esfahan en het hervormen van de kalender, werk waar Omar Khayyam een grote rol bij speelde. Omar Khayyam werd voor dat werk gevraagd omdat hij al voor zijn 25ste belangrijke teksten over wiskunde had geschreven, onder andere 'Verhandeling over de oplossing van algebraproblemen'. Daarin ontwierp hij een volledige theorie voor het oplossen van derdegraads vergelijkingen, gebaseerd op het vinden van snijpunten van kegelsneden zoals de hyperbool en de cirkel. In de tijd van Malik Sjah kon Omar Khayyam zich volledig aan zijn wetenschappelijke werk wijden: hij maakte astronomische tabellen en werkte aan de nieuwe opzet van de kalender. Na de dood van Malik Sjah en zijn grootvizier bleef Omar Khayyam verbonden aan het Seltsjoekische hof, ook nu zijn steunpilaren waren weggevallen en zijn vrije wetenschappelijke denktrant door orthodoxe moslims werd gewantrouwd. In 1118 werd het hof verplaatst naar Merv (in het huidige Turkmenistan) en Omar Khayyam verhuisde mee. Daar werkte hij aan de wiskunde tot zijn dood in 1131.

    Extractions: OMAR KHAYYAM Poet / Astronomer Historically speaking, Omar Khayyam has led a double life. In his own time he was a respected mathematician and astronomer who helped reform the ancient Muslim calendar. In the modern era he is more fondly remembered as the author of the brief, lyrical poems known collectively as The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam.
