OMAR KHAYYAM IN THE RESEARCH OF V. A. ZHUKOVSKY
V.A.Zhukovsky is one of the famous Russian orientalists who made a great contribution to the study of literature and culture of Iranian peoples. The article discusses his merits in studying the life and work of Omar Khayyam, especially his quatrains. First of all, V.A. Zhukovsky collected information about Khayyam, then identified the “wandering” rubai, which are found in the collections of the quatrains of Khayyam and other poets. Having made a great contribution to the study of Khayyam, he tries to restore his appearance. However, he considers Khayyam a mystic poet. Despite this study, V.A. Zhukovsky about Khayyam is of great scientific importance and is considered the first serious step in the study of the Rubayat Hayoma.
