It is often known in English as the \u003cem\u003eArabian Nights\u003c\/em\u003e, from the first English language edition (1706), which rendered the title as \u003cem\u003eThe Arabian Nights' Entertainment\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe work as we have it was collected over many centuries by various authors, translators and scholars across the Middle East and North Africa. The tales themselves trace their roots back to ancient and medieval Arabic, Persian, Indian, Egyptian and Mesopotamian folklore and literature. In particular, many tales were originally folk stories from the Caliphate era, while others, especially the frame story, are most probably drawn from the Pahlavi Persian work \u003cem\u003eHazār Afsān\u003c\/em\u003e (\u003cem\u003eThousand Tales\u003c\/em\u003e) which in turn relied partly on Indian elements. Though the oldest Arabic manuscript dates from the 14th century, scholarship generally dates the collection's genesis to around the 9th century.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 260\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.81 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e February 18, 2023\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52525271744819,"sku":"9798889421276","price":53.08,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/WC92NGNWMjdlS3o0OUVMQll4UFZKQT09.webp?v=1760604897","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/en-ca\/products\/the-arabian-nights-entertainments-hardcover","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
