Extractions: 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 Omars poetry as a materialist diatribe against religious belief. Like all great poetry, Omars 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 1880s. My research has also been informed by reviewing a number of literal translations, notably those of Graves and Ali-Shah (1967) and Arberry (1952).

A Criticism Of The Fitzgerald Translation
Edward Fitzgerald's translation of The Rubaiyyat of Omar Khayyam is the most widely beblamed for turning this classic by the 11thcentury Persian mathematician
http://www.geocities.com/sitabhra/khayyam/fitz_crit.html

Extractions: If all translators are traitors, as goes the Italian saying ("traduttori traditori"), then what fate should we reserve for the individual who does a interpretive translation? And what if the translator is accused of interpolation? Edward Fitzgerald's translation of The Rubaiyyat of Omar Khayyam is the most widely read - and quoted - work of poetry from the Orient. There have been numerous editions since its first publication in 1858, many with illustrations that may be blamed for turning this classic by the 11th-century Persian mathematician, physicist and astronomer into a kind of erotica. The Rubaiyyat, for its length of 75 four-line "rubai" or stanzas, is perhaps the most frequent source of modern entries in English dictionaries of familiar quotations (35 citations in The Oxford Dictionary of Quotations, 33 in Bartlett's). The most famous,`` Thou beside me singing in the wilderness'' has been the subject of countless illustrations; and ``thou'' has always been depicted as a handsome young houri (maiden). The admirers of Khayyam may be loath to know that ``thou'' does not sing and is not a houri in the original, but merely his Sufi fellow-initiate with whom he meditates over a book of poems. In Fitzgerald's Rubaiyyat, a garden is the setting for the musings and the yearnings of the persona and an expression of his moods; in the original there is no garden at all and each ``rubai'' is an individual short poem, a kind of epigram.

Extractions: The land of Tajiks, as an Indo-European speaking people, is in the territory known since ancient times as Bactria, Maverannahr, the Parthian Kingdom and the Kingdom of Kharazm, the Kingdom of the Samanids and the states of Seleucids, Tamerlane, the Bukhara Emirate and the Kokand (Qoqand) Khanate once flourished in this region. The land of Tajiks is a land of ancient and highly developed culture. It gave the world many outstanding scientists and poets: Al-Khwarazmi, the 9th century mathematican and astronomer, Ibn-Sina, the physician and enlightener of the 10-th11th centuries, known in West as Avecenna; Rudaki, court poet in Bukhara in the time of the Samanids. Alisher Navoi, the great poet and philosopher of the past, lived and worked in Samarqand. Tajiks also venerate Firdausi, a poet and composer of the Shah-nameh (Book of Kings), the Persian national epic, and Omar Khayyam, of Rubaiyat fame, both born in present-day Iran but at a time when it was in the same empire as Tajikistan.

Extractions: Omar Khayyam The 11th century Persian astronomer and poet’s classic works provide the golden thread of romance throughout "Z’s" story of Zorro. Persian passion woven with gypsy magic becomes the tie that binds our central characters together. The poems have been treasured and collected from one century to the next and used to whisper words of love in the gardens of delight that all true lovers find. Yet like our hero, Omar was a man of action and served his Sultan loyally in war as well as in peace. The following poems are interwoven throughout the play:

As an astronomer, his works to reform the calendar, resulted in the adoption of a new era and called the Jalalian calendar. As a mathematician, Khayyam was one of the most notable mathematicians of his time and he is the first developer of the binomial theorem. He is, however, most famous as the author of one of the world's best-known works of poetry, the Rubaiyat (quatrains), a collection of epigrammatic four-line stanzas which reflect upon nature and humanity. Khayyam was introduced to the West through a version of 100 of the quatrains in 1859 by The English poet and translator Edward FitzGerald.

Extractions: for Boulder The Choihona's gardens were the result of extraordinary efforts of the Boulder Garden Club and the Boulder County Rose Society, whose members donated much time and expertise, in addition to some of the plantings and bedding materials, in early 1998 before the Teahouse opened its doors in May of that year. "Images of Paradise in Islamic Art," p.15. Mikl Brawner and Eve Reshetnik of Harlequin's Nursery in North Boulder and current co-presidents of the Boulder County Rose Society, carefully chose the roses according to four criteria. The first was cold-heartiness; the second, fragrance; third, disease resistance; and fourth, how likely it is that they grow in Tajikistan. They worked closely with then-Rose Society President Dawn Penland. Mikl said that it although it was difficult to determine what species are actually found in Central Asia, his research leads him to believe that among the varieties represented at the teahouse the following have family members in or around Dushanbe: Persian Yellow, the orange-yellow shrub Austrian Copper, the light pink small shrub rosa haemisphaerica, and deep magenta-colored Rose de Rescht, which is an Old Garden Rose known for its especially sweet fragrance. It is believed that the world's first planned gardens were in Iran as early as the sixth Century B.C. A garden surrounded the tomb of Cyrus the Great at Pasargadae in what is now southern Iran. Throughout the centuries gardens, roses and other flowers have been praised by poets of the The Middle East and Central Asia. In the Koran, paradise is a garden.

Smith, "Just how much influence the passing of the first Christian millennium had upon the common people it is difficult to say. Historians pay much less attention to the 'terreur de l'an Mil' [terror of the Year 1000] than was formerly the case. It is not probable that many educated persons took literally the biblical remark relating to the period of a thousand years, but it is certain that it was so taken by some. At any rate, the passing of this milestone saw the Christian world aroused to new interests." "Then, too, there were the

http://www.cakebread.com/wines/Rubaiyat/98rubaiyat.html

Extractions: Oh, wilderness were paradise enough! This quatrain from The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam inspired the name of this wine. And like the poet, we fashion our Rubaiyat so its flavors perfectly complement paradisiacal picnic and barbecue fare. Our poetic creation also goes extremely well with grilled and/or spicy foods; foods which otherwise would overwhelm a lighter white or rosé wine. Pinot noir has always been in the Rubaiyat blend, but the 1998 vintage is almost entirely pinot noir. To lend structure to the Pinot Noir's fresh fruit acidity, winemaker Bruce Cakebread also added a very small amount of syrah; this variety, long associated with the Rhone area of France and called Shiraz in Australia, enhances the Rubaiyat's overall structure. Aged over one year in new and year-old French oak barrels before being bottled, the 1998 Rubaiyat is produced in such limited quantities, only available at the winery. It is best enjoyed in its youth. We recommend, as we have in the past, that it be served just slightly chilled (but never cold); this will actually accentuate the 1998's vibrant raspberry and bright cherry flavors.

http://www.delosmus.com/item/de31/de3168.html

Extractions: "My tomb shall be in a spot where the north wind may scatter roses over it," prophesied the 11th century Persian poet Omar Khayyam. The voice that created paradise out of wilderness, that extolled the glories of love and sensual pleasure, speaks again in Alan Hovhaness' setting of "The Rubaiyat" of Omar Khayyam. Actor Michael York's deeply affecting performance brings Omar Khayyam's timeless verses to life in this new recording of "The Rubaiyat" with conductor Gerard Schwarz and the Seattle Symphony. The "Exile Symphony" is Hovhaness' very personal tribute to his father. The 1930s witnessed severe persecution of Armenians in Turkey and their forced exile. The composer's own father was an Armenian exile, for many years a man without a country; and though he rarely spoke of his own experiences, he instilled in his American-born son a great compassion for the tragic plight of his people. In this moving work, one can hear oriental influences in the abundant melodic arcs and sense a connection to ancient civilizations in the modal tonalities. Hovhaness is also an admirer of the Greek nation and its mythology. "Meditation On Orpheus" is a musical representation of the mythical Greek hero whose music had such power that it could influence even the forces of Hades. Orpheus descends into the underworld in search of his deceased wife, and almost succeeds in the rescue attempt, but ultimately loses his own life instead.
