Avid readers of FitzGerald’s Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam had to search through all five editions to locate all the quatrains, as well as to discover the better renditions, FitzGerald having dropped or changed some. This rummaging need be no longer.
Herein, all 115 unique quatrains are presented, from all five editions (110) and FitzGerald’s notes (5). The quatrain num-
bering order is that of the second edition, with the insertion of a dropped first edition quatrain and five from the notes, with the eight dropped second edition quatrains retained.
