Shirazi, J.K.M.: Life of Omar al-Khayyámi, v1 1 Apr 2018
The author of this book, J.K.M. Shirazi, wrote in the Preface that he or she was Persian, but no other information can be found. As the book was published in the UK and the US in 1905 it is within the Public Domain.
The book is a short but fascinating biography of the Persian mathematician, astronomer, and poet Omar Khayyam, and contains several quatrains from his Rubaiyat. The text was taken from the Internet Archive, and checked against the pdf version. I have silently corrected typos, curled quotes, replaced italics and diacritics, and made changes to spelling, punctuation, and hyphenation using oxforddictionaries.com. This work is assumed to be in the Life+70 public domain OR the copyright holder has given specific permission for distribution. Copyright laws differ throughout the world, and it may still be under copyright in some countries. Before downloading, please check your country's copyright laws. If the book is under copyright in your country, do not download or redistribute this work.
