Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Quatrains of Omar Khayyám Omar Khayyám (the tent-maker) was born about the middle of the fifth century of the Hejirah, corresponding to the eleventh of the Christian era, in the neighbourhood of Naishapur, the capital of Khorasan, and died in 517 A.H. (=1122 A.D.) His life thus extended through the reigns of the Seljuk kings, Alp Arslan, Malik Shah, Mahmud, Barkiarok, and Muhammad. What is known of his life is contained in the following authorities: - First, the Wasfyat, or Testament of the celebrated Nizam ul Mulk, minister of Alp Arslan and Malik Shah. This was written about 480 a.h., and an extract from it is preserved in Mirkhond´s Eauzat us Safa (written about 900 A.H.), and in the Dabistan i Mazahib. This extract tells how Nizam ul Mulk in his youth studied under the great Sunni doctor Imam Muaffik of Naishapur, and there formed a close friendship with two of his fellow-pupils, Omar Khayyam and Hassan Sabbah.
