Had no chance of getting R, could not think of S eventhough I was thinking in the right region. Got the rest, so I am happy with the result :)

Edit and eventhough I saw the title when I clicked it, as soon as I started taking it I forgot... only halfway, well I was at H I think, my eyes caught the letters and realized..

Didn't get Vellum and Rumi, both of which I had definitely come across before! Other than that it was quite easy.

I also like Omar Khayyam better, but Rumi is undoubtedly better known overall.

Fun quiz. It would be nice if the Italian version of Thomas' last name would also count.

Don't really like the fact that Marco Polo goes under P, because I was thinking of only first names starting with M.
