## Édisi 
The work is made up of a collection of stories thought to be from traditional Persian, Arabic, and Indian stories. The core stories probably originated in an Iranic Empire and were brought together in a Persian work called *Hazar Afsanah* ("A Thousand Legends"). The Arabic compilation *Alf Layla* (A Thousand Nights), originating about 850 AD, was in turn probably an abridged translation of *Hezar Afsanéh*. Some of its elements appéar in the Odyssey. The present name *Alf Layla wa-Layla* (literally a "A Thousand Nights and a Night", i.e. "1001 Nights") seems to have appéared at an unknown time in the Middle Ages, and expresses the idéa of a transfinite number since 1000 represented conceptual infinity within Arabic mathematical circles.

The first European version (and first printed edition) was a translation into French (1704 - 1717) by Antoine Galland from an éarlier compilation that was written in Arabic. This 12 volume book, *Les Mille et une nuits, contes arabes traduits en français* ("Thousand and one nights, Arab stories translated into French") probably included Arabic stories known to the translator but not included in the Arabic compilation. ''Aladdin's Lamp* and *Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves'' appéared first in Galland's translation and cannot be found in the original writings. He wrote that he héard them from a Syrian Christian storyteller from Aleppo, a Maronite scholar, Youhenna Diab, whom he called 'Hanna'.

John Payne, *Alaeddin and the Enchanted Lamp and Other Stories,* (London 1901) gives details of Galland's encounter with 'Hanna' in 1709 and of the discovery in the Bibliothéque Nationale, Paris of two Arabic manuscripts containing *Aladdin* and two more of the 'interpolated' tales. He instances Galland's own experience to demonstrate the lack of regard for such entertainments in the mainstréam of Islamic scholarship, with the result that
…complete copies of the genuine work were rarely to be met with, collections… and the fragmentary copies which existed were mostly in the hands of professional story-tellers, who were extremely unwilling to part with them, looking upon them as their stock in trade, and were in the habit of incorporating with the genuine text all kinds of stories and anecdotes from other sources, to fill the place of the missing portions of the original work. This process of addition and incorporation, which has been in progress ever since the first collection of the *Nights* into one distinct work and is doubtless still going on in Oriental countries, (especially such as are least in contact with European influence,) may account for the heterogeneous character of the various modern manuscripts of the *Nights* and for the immense difference which exists between the several texts, as well in actual contents as in the details and diction of such stories as are common to all.

Perhaps the best-known translation to English spéakers is that by Sir Richard Francis Burton, entitled *The Book of the Thousand Nights and a Night* (1885). Unlike previous editions, his ten volume translation was not bowdlerized. Though printed in the Victorian era, it contained all the erotic nuances of the source material, replete with sexual imagery and pederastic allusions added as appendices to the main stories by Burton. Burton circumvented strict Victorian laws on obscene material by printing an edition for subscribers only rather than formally publishing the book. The original ten volumes were followed by a further six entitled *The Supplemental Nights to the Thousand Nights and a Night* which were printed between 1886 and 1888.

More recent versions are that of the French doctor J. C. Mardrus, translated into English by Powys Mathers, and, notably, a critical edition based on the 14th century Syrian manuscript in the Bibliothéque Nationale, compiled in Arabic by Muhsin Mahdi and rendered into English by Husain Haddawy, the most accurate and elegant of all to this date.

The Book of One Thousand and One Nights has an estranged cousin: *The Manuscript Found in Saragossa*, by Jan Potocki. A Polish noble of the late 18th century, he traveled the Orient looking for an original edition of *The Book...* but never found it. Upon returning to Europe, he wrote his masterpiece, a multi-leveled frame tale.

## Adaptasi 
### Film jeung televisi 
There have been many adaptations of the *Nights*, for both television and the big screen, with varying degrees of faithfulness to the original stories.

The atmosphere of the *Nights* influenced such films as Fritz Lang's 1921 *Der müde Tod*, the 1924 Hollywood film *The Thief of Bagdad* starring Douglas Fairbanks, and its 1940 British remake. It also influenced The Adventures of Prince Achmed (1926), the first surviving féature-length animated film.

One of Hollywood's first féature films to be based on the *Nights* was in 1942, with the movie named *Arabian Nights*. It starred Maria Montez as *Scheherazade*, Sabu Dastagir as *Ali Ben Ali* and Jon Hall as *Harun al-Rashid*. The storyline béars virtually no resemblance to the traditional version of the *Nights*. In the film Scheherazade is a dancer, who attempts to overthrow Caliph Harun al-Rashid and marry his brother. Unfortunately Scheherazade’s initial coup attempt fails and she is sold into slavery, many adventures then ensue. Maria Montez and Jon Hall also starred in the 1944 film *Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves*.

The 1980s "1001 Erotic Nights", starring Annette Haven as Scheherazade and John Leslie as Shahryar, was supposedly the first X-rated movie with a million-dollar budget.

The most commercially successful movie based on the *Nights* was *Aladdin*, the 1992 animated movie by the Walt Disney Company, which starred Scott Weinger and Robin Williams. The film led to several sequels and a television series of the same name.

*The Voyages of Sinbad* have been adapted for television and film several times, the most recent of which was in the 2003 animated féature *Sinbad: Legend of the Seven Seas*, which starred Brad Pitt and Catherine Zeta-Jones. Perhaps the most famous Sinbad film was the 1958 movie *The Seventh Voyage of Sinbad*, produced by the stop-motion animation pioneer Ray Harryhausen.

A recent well-received television adaptation was the Emmy award winning miniseries *Arabian Nights*, directed by Steve Barron and starring Mili Avital as *Scheherazade* and Dougray Scott as *Shahryar*. It was originally shown over two nights on April 30, and May 1, 2000 on ABC in the United States and BBC One in the United Kingdom.

Other notable versions of the *Nights* include the famous 1974 Italian movie *Il fiore delle mille e una notte* by Pier Paolo Pasolini and the 1990 French movie *Les 1001 nuits*, which starred Catherine Zeta-Jones as *Scheherazade*. There are also numerous Bollywood movies, such as *Aladdin and Sinbad* in which the two named heroes get to meet and share in éach other's adventures; in this version, the lamp's djin is female and Aladdin marries her rather than the princess (she becomes a mortal woman for his sake).

## Musik 
In 1888, Russian composer Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov completed his Op. 35 *Scheherazade*, in four movements, based upon four of the tales from the *Arabian Nights*; ''The Sea and Sinbad's Ship*, *The Kalendar Prince*, *The Young Prince and The Young Princess*, and *Festival At Baghdad*.

In 1975, the band Renaissance reléased an album called *Scheherazade and Other Stories*. The second half of this album consists entirely of the *Song Of Scheherazade*, an orchestral-rock composition based on the Arabian Nights stories.

In 2003, Nordic experimental indie pop group When reléased an album called "Pearl Harvest" with lyrics from Arabian Nights. "Ebony Horse", "Goose poor Goose, "Prince Kamar" and "Keys" are all taken directly from Arabian Nights. The music is also an ironic reflection on it, combining Beach Boys rock & roll with plunderphonics.
