Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Concordance to Fitzgerald´s Translation of the Rubáiyát of Omar Khayyám A Concordance to a classical translation has, we believe, but rarely been attempted, - and for obvious reasons almost. The Rubáiyát of Omar Khayyám may be looked upon as affording an excuse for leaving the beaten track in that respect, and the present compilation is offered as a full Index to the use of every separate and distinct word contained in the translation as the Translator left it in the last edition of the poem issued during his lifetime, as well as (secondarily) a full Index to the vocabulary of the first edition of 1859. All variations (occurring in edd. 2 and 3, and otherwhere) from those two widely differing texts find likewise a place in this Concordance; so that though it does not give a reference to quatrain and line in all the editions where the same phrase is used, it is practically a complete Index to the entire work in all its distinct forms. The versions of edd. 3 and 4 (i.e. of 1872 and 1879) are nearly the same, the number of quatrains being the same, and running in exact parallel as regards the text, the text of one being identical (almost) with the other. As regards the text of the second edition (1868), it occupies no fewer than 110 quatrains, or nine more than figure in the Translator´s final version of 1879. A "Comparative Table of Stanzas in the Four Editions" has already been furnished in all the recent editions, so that should any consulter of the present work desire to refer to the text of the second edition he can readily find it by referring to the Table referred to.
