Hard Cover. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: No Dust Jacket As Issued. First Edition. Later Printing. Publisher's full green cloth, black lettering on paper label on spine, green endpapers, fore-edge deckle. "The Arabian Nights' Entertainments: A New Edition, revised, with Notes" is a historically significant 19th-century compilation edited by the Rev. George Fyler Townsend. First published around 1866 by Frederick Warne & Co. in London, this translation has remained a collectable classic for enthusiasts of world folklore and antique literature. Townsend primarily based his version on the English translation by Dr. Jonathan Scott. He selected it because it was more accurate than Antoine Galland's French translation, yet less verbose and abstruse than Edward Lane's highly academic version. As an Anglican clergyman, Townsend revised the text to make it suitable for a broad Victorian audience. He added explanatory notes and prefaces clarifying Middle Eastern and South Asian cultural customs.
