RARE AND INTERESTING VERSION OF THE RUBAIYAT OF OMAR KHAYYAM This version is BEAUTIFULLY ILLUSTRATED BY IRAN'S CELEBRATED ARTIST HOSSEIN BEHZAD.  It is edited by Brigadier-General Dr. Hossein-Ali ouri Esfandiary.  The partial copyright page notes a date of 1949 beneath this editor's name.  The second partial copyright page notes a First Printing of this version in 1970; this is the Second Printing in 1972.  This version has the English Version of Edward Fitzgerald and the French Version of E'tassam-Zadeh.  It also is in Arabic, with the book starting not only left to right Western style, but also right to left (starting in Western style back of book) in Arabic.  Each of the text pages of the story are in the three languages, while the Arabic part in the back also has a multi-page section fully in Arabic.   Overall the book is in VERY GOOD CONDITION.  Clean glossy boards with gilt titling front and rear.  The front cover appears to have been sponsored by "ARYA National Shipping Lines S.A." which is an Iranian-based shipping line.  The book was nicely inscribed to "My Dear friend Snyder" by P. Danesh.  I was able to find a Parvis Danesh, who was identified as as the Director of, ISLAMIC REPUBLIC OF IRAN SHIPPING LINES in 1974.  I doubt this was hand-inked by Parvis Danesh, but likely hand-inked professionaly paid for by Parvis Danesh.  The front board has a tiny bit of damage to front board fore-edge center.  Clean glossy pages throughout, unpaginated, BEAUTIFUL ILLUSTRATIONS! On Hossein Behzad from Wikipedia: "Hossein Behzad (1894 – 13 October 1968) (حسین بهزاد) was a prominent Iranian painter. His early work was in the styles of the old masters of Persian painting of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, hoping to save Persian miniature painting from oblivion." B134
