The Book of the Thousand Nights and a Night — Volume 10 (of 10)

Note 165 — Terminal Essay.

Richard Francis Burton translation · Edition 2

In the annotated translation by Mr. I. G. N. Keith-Falconer, Cambridge University Press. I regret to see the wretched production called the “Fables of Pilpay” in the “Chandos Classics” (London, F. Warne). The words are so mutilated that few will recognise them, e.g. Carchenas for Kár-shínás, Chaschmanah for Chashmey-e-Máh (Fountain of the Moon), etc.

Explore with AITake your curiosity a little further.
