1886 Arabian Nights 1001 Nights Illustrated Ali Baba Aladdin Burton Club 15v SET
“A loss that can be repaired by money is not of such very great importance.”
– The Arabian Nights
During the Golden Age of Islam in South and West Asia, a collection of tales and stories was gathered and called “One Thousand and One Arabian Nights”. It was first translated into French by Antoine Galland in 1704-17 and helped establish a positive attitude toward Islam in the Western world. It is often known in English as the Arabian Nights. The stories told in this collection introduce some of the most well-known characters of literature including Aladdin, Ali Baba, and Sinbad the Sailor.
This incredible late 19th-century set was published by Richard Burton for private subscribers. This specific set is numbered 523 of 1000.
