“The Rubáiyát of Omar Khayyám of Naishápúr” (Needham, MA: Rosemary Press, 1916). Miniature Book Collection. This tiny “Rubáiyát,” like others in its series, is bound in Russian leather and hand-tooled in gold. It was one of only 60 published by Rosemary Press, founded by Charles Dana Burrage (1857–1926), a Boston lawyer, naturalist, Orientalist, and the first president of the University of California Club of New England. His wee books were given as party favors at club events. Photo by Pete Smith.
