Description

The Book of the Thousand Nights and a Night—Volume 05 [Supplement]

I take the liberty of placing your names at the head of this Volume which owes its rarest and raciest passages to your kindly refusing the temporary transfer of the Wortley Montague MS. from your pleasant library to the care of Dr. Rost, Chief Librarian, India Office. As a sop to bigotry and virtue, as a concession to the Scribes and Pharisees, I had undertaken, in case the loan were granted, not to translate tales and passages which might expose you, the Curators, to unfriendly comment. But, possibly anticipating what injury would thereby accrue to the Volume and what sorrow to my subscribers, you were good enough not to sanction the transferindeed you refused it to me twiceand for this step my clientle will be (or ought to be) truly thankful to you. An Arabic MS. in seven volumes, written in 17645, and containing what is rarely met with, a complete collection of the Thousand and one Tales (N.B. an error for Nights) of the Arabian Nights Entertainments, was bought from Captain Jonathan Scott for 50. Mr. Scott published, in 1811, an edition of the Tales in six volumes (N.B. He reprinted the wretched English version of Prof. Gallands admirable French, and his revisions and occasional corrections are purely imaginative,) in which this MS. is described, (N.B. after the mos majorum). He obtained it from Dr. (Joseph) White, the Professor of Hebrew and Arabic at Oxford, who had bought it at the sale of the library of Edward Wortley Montague, by whom it had been brought from the East. (N.B. Dr. White at one time intended to translate it literally, and thereby eclipse the Anglo-French version.) It is xnoticed in Ouseleys Oriental Collections (Cadell and Davies), vol. ii. p. 25. ......Buy Now (To Read More)
