The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam:
1908 Duckworth and Co. FitzGerald Second Edition with Edward Heron-Allen Commentary Edition

This 1908 Duckworth and Co. edition is an interesting one. It’s the second edition of the text but with commentary for every quatrain by Edward Heron-Allen. It also contains an introduction by him.

This edition is part of a greater collection from Barbara Campbell that I purchased a portion of.
