About Supplemental Nights to the Book of the Thousand and One Nights — Volume 1 (of 6)
"Supplemental Nights to the Book of the Thousand and One Nights — Volume 1" by Richard Francis Burton is a collection published between 1886-1888. This work extends Burton's controversial ten-volume translation of the Arabian Nights with seven additional volumes of tales from the Islamic Golden Age. Burton's version became notorious for its sexual content, extensive footnotes on Oriental customs, and archaic language. Published privately to avoid Victorian obscenity laws, it sparked plagiarism accusations and divided critics between admiration and condemnation of its scholarly yet idiosyncratic approach to these ancient Middle Eastern stories.
