Note 102 — THE STORY OF THE THREE SHARPERS.[17]
Richard Francis Burton translation · Edition 2
Vol. iii. pp. 168–179: and Scott’s “Story of the Second Lunatic,” pp. 45–51. The name is absurdly given as the youth was anything but a lunatic; but this is Arab symmetromania. The tale is virtually the same as “Women’s Wiles,” in Supplemental Nights, vol. ii. 137–151.
