ADDITIONAL NOTES ON THE BIBLIOGRAPHY OF THE THOUSAND AND ONE NIGHTS.
(Cf. Nights, X., App. Ii., P. 414.)
By W. F. Kirby.
Herewith I add notes on any works of importance which I had not seen when my "Contributions" were published, or which have appeared since.
Zotenberg's Work on Aladdin and on Various Manuscripts of the Nights.
One of the most important works which has appeared lately in connection with the Thousand and One Nights, is the following:
Histoire d' 'Alâ Al-Dîn ou la Lampe Merveilleuse. Texte Arabe publié avec une notice sur quelques manuscrits des Mille et une Nuits par H. Zotenberg, roy. 8vo. Paris, Imprimérie Nationale, 1888
The publication of this work puts an end to the numerous conjectures of scholars as to the source of Galland's unidentified tales; and the notes on various MSS. of the Nights are also very valuable. It therefore appears desirable to give a tolerably full sketch of the contents of the book.[431]
