Extractions: The Sultan's Turret with a Shaft of Light Portland, Oregon So begins The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam, one of the best-known poems in the world and perhaps the most famous piece of Persian literature. The several hundred quatrains that make up this enduring 11th century work have been translated into dozens of languages and inspired countless readers and scholars with their beauty. At least nine editions of The Rubaiyat are currently in print in the United States, and the work remains a staple of university courses across the country. Most are based on the 19th century translation by the British scholar Edward FitzGerald. American artistic interest in Omar Khayyam goes beyond an admiration for his greatest literary work, however. The story of Omar Khayyam himself has captured the imagination of numerous American novelists and filmmakers over the years. Three silent films and a 1950s Hollywood epic have told sometimes highly fanciful versions of the story of the multitalented 11th century man who was one of history's great mathematicians, a noted scientist, an accomplished poet and an important figure in the court of the Seljuk empire. Now a fifth film is seeking once again to recount the story of Omar Khayyam.

In his own time he was a respected mathematician and astronomer who helped reform the ancient Muslim calendar. In the modern era he is more fondly remembered as the author of the brief, lyrical poems known collectively as The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam. Omar is said to have adopted the name Khayyam ("the tentmaker") in honor of his father's trade. FOUR GOOD LINKS Biography of Omar Khayyam

Extractions: He was a student of the Imam Mowaffak of Naishapur. One of Omar's fellow students, Nizam-ul-Mulk, became the Vizier of Alp Arslan the Son and Malik Shah the Grandson of Toghrul Beg the Tartar, who ruled Persia and founded the Seljukian Dynasty. When this man became Vizier, Omar asked if he could live under "the shadow" of his schoolmate's good fortune, to spread word of the advantages of science and to pray for him. Omar, once a tent-maker, was given a yearly pension and proceeded to study many subjects, becoming especially proficient in Astronomy. When he died at Naishapur in the year of the Hegira, 517 (A.D. 1123), he was praised as one who was unrivaled in science. However, he was not universally respected. His bold ideas threatened some segments of society, including the more conservative Islamic sects. Although not an ambitious man by most standards, he enjoyed the pleasures offered by the world, and he did not blindly accept the precepts of religion.

http://pchome.grm.hia.no/~fsaljoug/omar_khayyam.htm

Extractions: Died: 4 Dec 1131 in Nishapur Omar Khayyam 's full name was Ghiyath al-Din Abu'l-Fath Umar ibn Ibrahim Al-Nisaburi al-Khayyami. A literal translation of the name al-Khayyami (or al-Khayyam) means 'tent maker' and this may have been the trade of Ibrahim his father. Khayyam played on the meaning of his own name when he wrote:- Khayyam, who stitched the tents of science, And the broker of Hope has sold him for nothing!' Khayyam studied philosophy at Naishapur and one of his fellow students wrote that he was:- ... endowed with sharpness of wit and the highest natural powers ... However, 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. Khayyam himself described the difficulties for men of learning during this period in the introduction to his Treatise on Demonstration of Problems of Algebra (see for example [1]):- 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, with many troubles, whose concern in life is to snatch the opportunity, when time is asleep, to devote themselves meanwhile to the investigation and perfection of a science; for the majority of people who imitate philosophers confuse the true with the false, and they do nothing but deceive and pretend knowledge, and they do not use what they know of the sciences except for base and material purposes; and if they see a certain person seeking for the right and preferring the truth, doing his best to refute the false and untrue and leaving aside hypocrisy and deceit, they make a fool of him and mock him.

He was transiting into Paris before heading on a trip to Turkey to meet potential film production companies and crew members before going to Bukhara and Samarkand, Uzbekistan to start shooting his first location scouting of what was to be an epic film set in 11th century Persia on the life and times of the famed epicurian Poet Omar Khayyam. «Khayyam was one of my fathers favorite poets» he told me. «The film is in a way a tribute to him, he passed away a few years ago and I feel it was my way of paying homage to a past which has contributed so greatly to my duality as an Iranian-American. Before my father passed away from cancer 11 years ago, he cherished the moments when he could impart his wisdom and experience in life through poetry.» No film can be accomlished if one does not have some personal emotional involvement in the project. It requires a mixture of utopia in making it come true and a great deal of realism because it

Extractions: The Keeper: The Legend of Omar Khayyam Omar Khayyam is a pretty big figure in history, but not many people in America know about him. He lived in Persia in the 11th century, and was a brilliant astronomer and poet. The Keeper: The Legend of Omar Khayyam is writer/director Kayvan Mashayekh way of trying to tell a story while telling about Khayyam. The film is a mixed experience. It's a gorgeous looking film (but its low budget shows), but his choice of actors is a bit odd at times, and the emotional resonance of the story is never there. Worse, he tells who Khayyam was, but never reveals why he was important. The story within the story is an account of Khayyam as he grew up, but stops just as Khayyam truly enters a new stage in his life. The framing sequence takes place in a hospital in Houston. Kamran's (Adam Echahly) brother Nader (Puya Behinaein) is dying of cancer, and telling him the legend of Khayyam. Nader is weak, but feels it is important that he relate the story to Kamran. Kamran learns about Khayyam and his childhood friends Hassan and Darya. As they grew older, they went their separate ways. Khayyam (Bruno Lastra, Code 46 Bright Young Things ) became a learned astronomer, studying under Imam Muaffak (Rade Serbedzija
