Note 157 — THE TEN WAZIRS; OR THE HISTORY OF KING AZADBAKHT AND HIS SON.[130]
Richard Francis Burton translation · Edition 2
In Chavis and Cazotte, who out-galland’d Galland in transmogrifying the Arabic, this is the “Story of Illage (Al-Hájj) Mahomet and his sons; or, the Imprudent Man.” The tale occurs in many forms and with great modifications: See, for instance, the Gesta Romanorum “Of the miraculous recall of sinners and of the consolation which piety offers to the distressed,” the adventures of the knight Placidus, vol. ii. 99. Charles Swan, London. Rivington, 1824.
