"HaKoss" / The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam. Translated into Hebrew by Naphtali Herz Imber "author of HaTikva". New-York: S. Levine, [1905?]. English and Hebrew. Poems by the well-known Persian poet Omar Khayyam, translated into Hebrew by Naphtali Herz Imber. Accompanied by an English translation by Edward Fitzgerald.
