Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Arabian Nights Entertainments These famous Tales were first made known to English readers Id 1704 A.D., by M. Galland, Professor of Arabic in the Royal College of Paris, and a resident for some time at Constantinople. They at once became exceedingly popular, 1 and have ever since maintained a foremost position in the Juvenile Literature of this country.

Dr Jonathan Scott, Oriental Professor at the then existing East India College, and a friend oi Dr White, the learned Professor of Arabic in the University ol Oxford, published in 1811 A.D. a new edition, "carefully revised, and occasionally corrected from the Arabic." Of this version Mr Hay Macnaughten, who himself commenced a translation from the Arabic Ms., speaks "as the best rendering of these tales." The Rev. Edward Forster published, a few years later, an edition closely correspondent with the first English text from M. Galland´s French translation. This has had a very wide circulation in this country. The only other edition which requires to be mentioned is that published in 1839, by Mr Edward Lane, the author of the well-known book, Modern Egyptians. This edition deserves the highest praise.
