TEHRAN, May 15 (MNA) -- Iranian scholars and literati will gather in Neyshabur on May 17 and 18 to commemorate Khayyam National Day.
Holding calligraphy workshops, running mathematics competitions in Neyshabur’s school as well as chess contests for all ages and calligraphy exhibitions are among the programs, Neyshabur governer Seyyed Jalal Hashemi told the Persian service of ISNA.
He went on to say that the mausoleum of Attar will be adorned with flowers on May 17 and Neyshabur’s Simorgh Cultural Center will host several artistic and cultural programs during the event.
Scholars Abutaleb Mirabedini, Gholamreza Jamshidenejad, Jamshid Salur and several other Khayyam researchers will give papers at Neyshabur’s Simorgh Cultural Center on May 18, he added.
Omar Khayyam was born on May 18, 1048 in Neyshabur, Khorasan and died on December 4, 1131 in his hometown.
This Persian mathematician, astronomer, and poet was renowned in his own country and in his own time for his scientific achievements, but is chiefly known to English-speaking readers through the translation by the English writer Edward Fitzgerald of a collection of his Rubaiyat (“quatrains”) in “The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam” (1859).
