FitzGerald's work has been published in several hundred editions and has inspired similar translation efforts in English and in many other languages. These include figures such as Shams Tabrizi, Najm al-Din Daya, Al-Ghazali, and Attar, who "viewed Khayyam not as a fellow-mystic, but a free-thinking scientist".[7]:663–664 The skeptic interpretation is supported by the medieval historian Al-Qifti (ca. Many of the verses are paraphrased, and some of them cannot be confidently traced to his source material at all.[23] Michael Kearney claimed that FitzGerald described his work as "transmogrification".[24] To a large extent, the Rubaiyat can be considered original poetry by FitzGerald loosely based on Omar's quatrains rather than a "translation" in the narrow sense.	./cache/en-wikipedia-org-2626.html	./txt/en-wikipedia-org-2626.txt
