	About the Project - 1001 Nights Cast
		The 1001 nights, Alf layla wa-layla, Les mille et une nuits: a title in constant motion, endlessly generating more and more versions of itself through translation, extension and expurgation.
		On her wedding night Scheherazade plots with her sister, Dunyazade, to entertain the king with a story that she does not finish when morning comes.
		1001 nights cast is a project generated by the forces of The 1001 nights: the theatrics of the voiced story, the need for framing devices, the strategies for survival, the allure of the Middle East and its contrasting realities.

	The Medieval 'Nights'
		In the 12th century a loan record for a Jewish bookseller in Cairo mentions the title "The 1001 Nights" -- the earliest mention of its present title -- and the Egyptian historian al-Maqrîzî in the early 15th century cites authors who indicate the work was in circulation in Cairo in the late 11th century.
		That the number 1001 for much of its history simply meant 'a lot' is a safe conjecture in view of the rather free use of numbers in medieval Arabic literature.
		The 1001 Nights is a multiple text, and I see no reason to exclude any standard Arabic editions or any of the translations based on it no matter how controversial they may be.

	Arabian Nights Its Origins and Legacy - MiddleEastUK.com: Mosaic
		The Thousand and One Nights (alf layla wa layla) or The Arabian Nights, as they came to be known, owes its origins to three distinct cultures and storytelling traditions: that of India, Persia and the Arab world.
		The success of The Arabian Nights stories over many other forgotten folk tales may be due to their blend of popular themes; heroic and romantic adventures are littered with mystery, old wisdom and exciting struggles between good and evil.
		Her story, or stories, since many tales are interwoven and imbedded into the first, lasts for two years and 271 days, if we are to take the 1001 nights literary.

	1001 Nights
		In full nights of sleep, lucid dreams tend to cluster towards the end of the night, becoming more likely with each REM period of the night.
		For this study, people were simply to note the times when they awakened in the night, and whether they had just awakened from a dream or a lucid dream.
		The procedure asked people to note when they awakened in the night, whether they had been dreaming, or lucid dreaming, which nostril was most open and to rate their dreams on several scales.

		The stories in the Nights evolved from oral tradition, and so were told over and over again before they were ever written down.
		The common factor that unites all collections into versions with the same basic origin is the framing element of king Shahrayar and Shahrazad - and her efforts to stay her execution by drawing out her story-telling for 1001 nights.
		A version printed in Calcutta in 1814 - of the first 200 nights was made from a late (18th century?) Syrian version of the Tales and a work of classical literature.

		So I have simply selected 1001, an arbitrary number that Scheherazade would have understood, because, if she had not spun 1001 nights of magnificent tales for her Shah, her days would have been decidedly numbered.
		It is divided into 40 sections, one for each viewing night, and has useful Appendices giving important information and tables to help you get through your 40 nights successfully.
		I think that part of the 40 Nights is to be spent reading and studying the book itself, helping the reader get through the book in a timely fashion.

		The introduction was extremely helpful in explaining the history of the Arabian Nights, why there are different versions, and why those different versions may contain different tales.
		Beautifully bound, printed on high-quality paper, with an erudite introduction, and clear, but stylish font, I thought how appropriate for the publisher to release a classic such as The Arabian nights in such a 'classic' style, hearkening back to a time when great care was put into published books.
		Husain Haddawy has chosen to use an airy conversational language, which is (I suspect) much closer to how the Nights would have sounded to the contemporary listener.
