Omar Khayyam (Ghiyth ad-Dn Abu'l-Fat Umar ibn Ibrhm al-Khayym Nshpr), born in Nishapur, Khorasan, the initial capital of the Seljuk Empire, in 1048, was a Persian polymath, philosopher and initiate, known for his contributions to mathematics, astronomy and Persian poetry. Intellectually Khayyam considered himself a student of Avicenna (Ibn Sina).
There is a tradition of attributing poetry to Omar Khayyam, written in the form of quatrains (rubiyt). This poetry became widely known to the English-reading world in a translation by Edward FitzGerald (Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam, 1859), which enjoyed great success in the Orientalism of the last part of XIX century.
