Note 310 — TALE OF ATTAF.
Richard Francis Burton translation · Edition 2
MS. pp. 588–627. In Gauttier’s edit. vii. (234–256), it appears as Histoire de l’Habitant de Damas. His advertisement in the beginning of vol. vii. tells us that it has been printed in previous edits., but greatly improved in his: however that may be, the performance is below contempt. In Heron it becomes The POWER OF DESTINY, or Story of the Journey of Giafar to Damascus, comprehending the adventures of Chebib and his Family (vol. i. pp. 69–175).
