The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam and Exantus (Two Books in One)

This tandem edition written by Chris Sebastian Douglas, features a collector's manuscript - rare as much as unique to literary value - for two distinguished reasons: At the outset, the translation of the Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam has been written into prose to retain maximum proximity to its original form. and secondly, Exantus' Quatrains although expressed in a comparable manner of those of Omar Khayyam, have a distinctive character and philosophy outside the inevitable common observations between these two styles, which complete one another most veritably.
