Description
|
|
|
|
After visiting Egypt in the mid-19th century, British scholar Edward William Lane translated the Arabian Nights, adding explanatory notes at the end of each chapter that form a virtual encyclopedia of Medieval Islamic culture. This volume contains Lane's notes, which treat such subjects as literature, festivals, education, slavery, funerary customs, and the role of women in Muslim culture.
