Note 280 — NUR AL-DIN ALI OF DAMASCUS AND THE DAMSEL SITT AL-MILAH.[280]
Richard Francis Burton translation · Edition 2
The Bresl. Edit. (vol. xii. pp. 50–116, Nights dcccclviii-dcccclxv.) entitles it “Tale of Abu al-Hasan the Damascene and his son Sídí Nur al-Dín ’Alí.” Sídí means simply “my lord”, but here becomes part of the name, a practice perpetuated in Zanzibar. See vol. v. 283.
