The area was under Roman occupation for 300 years following Queen Boadicca's failed rebellion in 59 A.D. but there is little evidence of the Romans' presence. When the Roman soldiers were recalled to Rome in 410 A.D ., there was a substantial Anglo-Saxon (Germanic) settlement . It was these people who gave East Anglia its name.

This was not an empire in which those of learning, even those as learned as Khayyam , found life easy unless they had the support of a ruler at one of the many courts. Even such patronage would not provide too much stability since local politics and the fortunes of the local military regime decided who at any one time held power. E. Khayyam himself described the difficulties for men of learning during this period in the introduction to his Treatise on Demonstration of Problems of Algebra I was unable to devote myself to the learning of this algebra and the continued concentration upon it, because of obstacles in the vagaries of time which hindered me; for we have been deprived of all the people of knowledge save for a group, small in number

    Extractions: Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam Omar Khayyam was an 11th century Persian mathematician, astronomer, and poet. He was recognized during his own lifetime for his scientific achievements, including reform of the Seljuq calendar based on astronomical observations. His western fame is based largely upon the edition of selected quatrains freely translated into English by Edward FitzGerald as The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam, the astronomer-poet of Persia , published in London by Bernard Quartich, March 1859. FitGerald's collection of Omar Khayyam's lyric verses contains phrases that are now standard quotations, including the famous line, "A Jug of Wine, a Loaf of Bread and Thou." FitzGerald's slender pamphlet contained 150 quatrains, and scholars have attributed at least 250 authentic rubaiyats or quatrains to Omar Khayyam. UMKC's Rubaiyatiana collections are comprised of two separate collections. The major collection of Rubaiyats is housed in the Diastole Conference Center on the UMKC Hospital Hill campus. The second collection of Rubaiyats was given by other Kansas City book collectors such as Lyle Kennedy. Dr. E. Grey Dimond is the emeritus Provost for Health Sciences and was instrumental in the establishment of the UMKC School of Medicine (1971). During his army service, the Rubaiyat captured Dr. Dimond's attention. Dr. Dimond was given his first copy of FitzGerald's Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam by Colonel Berle, who related a tragic story of a woman who died of a heart disease. Her sole possession was a copy of the Rubaiyat. From that time on, Dr. Dimond continued to search for editions of the Rubaiyat. The E. Grey Dimond Collection of Rubaiyats is located at the Diastole Center.

However, historical research indicates that Khayyam was much more than a hedonist. In The Nectar of Grace: Omar Khayyam's Life and Works , Swami Govinda Tirtha has given one of the most comprehensive details about Khayyam's life. The book reveals that Khayyam's actual name was Ghiyath ud Din Abu'l Fatah Omar bin Ibrahim al Khayyam. Born in the 11th century, Khayyam was a physician, an astronomer and author of treatises on mathematics and physics.

    Extractions: The Iranian Several years ago whilst strolling on Charlotte Street in London I came across a house with a blue circle which read: Edward Fitzgerald Lived Here. For me, an Iranian living away from my beloved roses and nightingales, this was a rather special discovery. Few people know that Fitzgerald's "translation" into English of Omar Khayyam's Rubaiyat is probably the best-selling book in the entire history of English poetry. It exists in many editions probably more than two hundred, according to one collector. Enjoying massive popularity throughout the 20th century, many people have carried it around, taken it to war, kept it in the car, ordered it for reading on a putative desert island. The memorable quatrains appeal to all classes and conditions of men and women; they are still treasured by millions. It is perhaps true to say that with no Fitzgerald there would have been no Omar. Recovering from the end of an unhappy marriage, this middle-aged Victorian gentleman set himself to the task of translating into English a hundred or so lyric stanzas (rubais) written by an 11th century Persian astronomer. Fitzgerald found great consolation in Khayyam's skeptical, sensuous poems, which extol the virtues of living deeply in the present moment. Preserving the Persian poet's graceful four-line verse form, Fitzgerald edited, embellished, and arranged the quatrains in dramatic sequence, making his contribution far more than that of mere translator. In 1859 when he published the Rubaiyat anonymously it was an immediate success.

    Extractions: ISFAHAN, Iran Aug. 10: During my travels in Iran I've been reading a book called "Samarkand," n historical novel by Lebanese journalist Amin Maalouf. Set in 11th century Persia, the book recounts the times of the great poet-philosopher Omar Khayyam, whose most tumultuous years began and ended in Isfahan. Aside from drinking about half the wine available in the city, Omar of Nishipur who, despite his near heretical views, enjoyed royal patronage realized his dream of building an astronomical observatory; he was accomplished in the arts of astronomy as well as astrology. One of his goals was to measure accurately the length of the solar year. Not only did he succeed, but the system he developed came into use during his own lifetime on March 21, 1079. "This officially carried the name of the Sultan," writes Maalouf, "but in the street, and even in certain documents, it was enough to mention 'such and such a year in the era of Omar Khayyam.'" A modification of his calendar remains in use today.

Revised editions followed in 1868, 1872, and 1879. FitzGerald's Rubaiyat has long been one of the most popular English poems. Although actually a paraphrase rather than a translation of a poem by the 11th-century Persian poet Omar Khayyam , it retains the spirit of the original in its poignant expression of a philosophy counseling man to live life to the fullest while he can.
