Гаргантюа и Пантагрюэль
In translating the "Nights", Burton attempted to invent an English equivalent of medieval Arabic. In doing so, he drew upon Chaucerian English, Elizabethan English, and the 1653 English translation by Sir Thomas Urquhart of the first three books of Rabelais's "Gargantua and Pantagruel" (1532-1546).
