Wel kan jy nou meer my ou vriend Omar Khayyam

Series of programmes in which antiquarian book dealer Rick Gekoski tells the stories that lie behind five very different missing works of art.
Rick tells the story behind the fabulous jewelled binding of the Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam, which was encrusted with over a thousand diamonds, rubies and emeralds and was regarded as the finest work produced by the bindery of Sangorski and Sutcliffe. Sadly it went down with the SS Titanic and is still lying unclaimed at the bottom of the ocean.

Oorspronklik was die Rubaiyat nie baie populer in Brittanje nie... hulle moes toe kopiee teen 1 pence verkoop, Rossini (Ja... Rossini) tel toe een vd kopiee op en wys dit aan ja!!! William Morris (Sarah Burden faam) van Hell's Passage faam ens... en so word nog n groot sirkel voltooi ongelooflik...

Wel vanaand is dit ek en die Perseides meteor skouspel...
