Editing Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam (section)

===Russian===
Many [[Russian language|Russian-language]] translations have been undertaken, reflecting the popularity of the ''Rubaiyat'' in [[Russia]] since the late 19th century and the increasingly popular tradition of using it for the purposes of [[bibliomancy]]. The earliest verse translation (by [[Vasily Velichko]]) was published in 1891. The version by Osip Rumer published in 1914 is a translation of FitzGerald's version. Rumer later published a version of 304 rubaiyat translated directly from Persian. A lot of poetic translations (some based on verbatim translations into prose by others) were also written by [[German Plisetsky]], [[Konstantin Bal'mont]], [[Cecilia Banu]], I. I. Tkhorzhevsky ([[:ru:Тхоржевский, Иван Иванович|ru]]), L. Pen'kovsky, and others.
