Published versions and illustrations of the Rubáiyát of Omar Khayyám

These files cover published versions and illustrations of the Rubáiyát of Omar Khayyám. They form part of an archive of research data relating to the spread and influence of the Rubáiyát of Omar Khayyám. The data have been compiled by independent researchers W H (Bill) Martin and Sandra Mason;  their contact details are in the README file.  The files comprise a number of searchable listings relating to the poem and its different manifestations. 

This section of the archive contains two database tables covering published versions of the Rubáiyát of Omar Khayyám. The first of these, ROKlist2011, provides a listing of over 1600 editions or reprints of the poem, in different languages and translations, which we know either to exist or to have been identified by other compilers of Rubáiyát bibliographies.  The second database ROKillus2011 provides more information on a subset of some 700 illustrated versions of the Rubáiyát.  Further details of the coverage of the databases and the fields and codings used are given in the accompanying README document.
