Omar Chayyám war ein persischer Universalgelehrter, dessen philosophische und wissenschaftliche Beiträge, darunter Abhandlungen über Mechanik, Geografie und Musik, weitgehend von seinem dichterischen Schaffen überschattet wurden. Als „Philosoph der Welt“ verehrt, liegt sein bleibendes Erbe in der tiefgründigen Weisheit und den nachdenklichen Versen, die Leser über Kulturen hinweg fesselten. Durch einflussreiche Übersetzungen, insbesondere von Edward FitzGerald, erlangten seine philosophischen Einsichten und poetischen Quartette weitreichende Berühmtheit und festigten seinen Status als gefeierter östlicher Dichter im Westen.
