The Rubáiyát of Omar Khayyám
(translator)
Cameo Classics.
First and fifth versions with illustrations by Edmund J.
Sullivan. New York:
Grosset & Dunlap, n.d. 30827
(as "Khayyam - The Rubyiat"); PQ4; GL (author as
"Khayyam, Omar"); TDB (listed among books which
"were donated to the Robert E. Howard Memorial Collection and
never formed part of Howard's own library.").
This copy of this book was given to the Memorial Collection
by Dr. Howard in Robert's memory, and is inscribed 'Cross Plains |
Texas | July 20 This Book | is dedicated to the | Robert Howard |
Memorial Colection [sic] | in Sacred Memory | to My Beloved Son |
Doctor Isaac M. Howard.' Note in PQ 4: "The Robert E. Howard bookplate in this
book has had another bookplate of the Howard Payne library posted
over it.... The Rubáiyát of Omar Khayyám has no other
marking in it, and was probably not owned by R.E.H. In all
likelihood Dr. Howard bought the book as an addition to the
collection which he hoped would memorialize his son."
However, ample evidence exists that Howard owned at least
one copy of this work, so it is included in the main listing.
