Show Notes
In this series of special episodes, I hope to highlight the historical background for the One Thousand and One Nights, by examining the history of the work, the original manuscripts, translators and translations, and how it found a new iteration in Children's Literature. In this episode I focus on my own academic/scholarly history to help the listener understand where I am approaching this topic from and I discuss the very first manuscript from the 9th Century CE, of which only a fragment remains.
