		The One Thousand and One Nights (also known as The Arabian Nights) was one of Borges favorite books; he mentions it often in his short stories and has certainly learned from it how to use embedded texts that will determine the outcome of the primary text.
		Every night she tells a story; in that story new stories are embedded, so that we have the construction: Scheherazade tells A that B tells that C tell, etc., sometimes until the eighth degree.
		Summarizing the primary fabula we might also say: “That night Scheherazade enchanted the king.” From this summary it is immediately clear what the symbolic function of the act of narration is. That interpretation is endorsed by the motive for the threat: the infidelity of a previous wife of the king.

		night in telling a story which in the morning reached a point so interesting that the king spared her, and asked next night for the sequel.
		In the former the king is offended with his wife, and divorces her; in the Arabian Nights he finds her unfaithful, and kills her.
		And, if this be so, the Nights must have been composed very soon after 1450.1 No doubt the Nights have borrowed much from the Hezar Afsane, and it is not improbable that even in the original Arabic translation of that work some of the Persian stories were replaced by Arab ones.

		The Thousand and One Nights was in the medieval period.
		Nights never was accorded the sort of respect that such texts enjoyed, hence we cannot assume that its manuscripts were copied and transmitted with anything like the same sort of care.
		The Thousand and One Nights, the stories as we have them now seem to wear the garb of the late medieval period in the Arab-Islamic world, that is, the eras of the Mamluks and the Ottomans.

	The Thousand and One Nights presented in Books section
		About a thousand years ago a vast number of stories in Arabic from various countries began to be brought together; only much later was the collection called The Arabian Nights or the Thousand and One Nights.
		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.

	Review of The Thousand and One Nights - Middle East Quarterly
		Unfortunately, Galland only had stories for 282 nights, not 1,001, so "under the spell of the title," he began the search for more.
		With time, as other scholars took interest in the Nights, they quietly imitated Galland, fabricating out of whole cloth stories such as "Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves." In the process, the Nights grew "from a modest collection of relatively homogeneous stories.
		Arabian Nights and Days may be the outstanding work of modern Arabic literature.

		Galland was a antiquarian, numismatist, and student of Oriental languages, so when he acquired the manuscript of the Thousand and One Nights, he became the first person to translate it into a Western language.
		It is said that he fell under the spell of the title, Thousand and one Nights, and waited for many years to retrieve the entire manuscript.

	THE IRANIAN: Hollywood's Thousand and One Nights, Darius Kadivar

		Pier Paolo Pasolini's "Il Fiore delle Mille e Una Notte" (Thousand and One Nights) was released in English under the title of "Arabian Nights" or "Les Mille et Une Nuits" in French.
		However the stories in these tales are so rich in imagery, fun, adventure and universal symbolism that it is no wonder that good old King Shahriar refused to behead his beautiful Sheherazade after her "One Thousand and One Nights" of storytelling and decided to marry her instead.

		The king's custom is to spend one night with a woman and execute her in the morning.
		And Sharazad, smart lady that she is, took care to insure her own future; not only does she regale her sultan with a thousand and one tales in as many nights, she also presents him with three children during that time, wins the heart of the sultan, and, we suppose, lives happily ever after.
		The stories, in Burton's translation, read with a real Medieval romance kind of flavor, which I assume is endemic to the Nights and the period, and is not strictly representative of Burton's English tastes, despite his choice of peculiarly English diction.
