Following as it does the magnificently dramatic front cover (the binding of the 'Library Edition' is particularly impressive, its black cloth elaborately stamped in gold with a rich synthesis of Islamic ornament), the device initially may escape notice altogether. Xlll xiv Preface and Acknowledgements Yet when that apparently unimportant black-and-white pattern reappears in volume after volume, continuing to be used however much the design of the binding may vary from one edition to the next, then the device begins to claim our attention. It is not a chessboard, of course, and hardly a crossword puzzle; a labyrinth perhaps but if so an impossible one; yet less of a nightmare than a vision of some harmonious and meaningful cluster of shapes like the notation of a dance. Gradually one begins to suspect that a hint is being dropped, a hint as to the spirit of the Nights themselves, that protean and vitalising spirit as it was glimpsed by Burton's contemporary W. H. Henley: He that has the book of the Thousand Nights and a Night has Hashisch-made-words for life. Gallant, subtle, refined, intense, humorous, obscene, here is the Arab intelligence drunk with conception. It is a vast extravaganza of passion in action and picarooning farce and material splendour run mad. 1 Thus imaginatively stirred, realisation dawns on Burton's reader: the significant markings of this enigmatic device are another version of Arabic script (square Kufic) that spells out the Arabic for The Book of the Thousand Nights and a Night. 'The purest angular [type] of Kufic was manipulated to form intricate geometric patterns ... on minarets and mosques and in maze-like' calligraphy. 2 Ornamental Kufic reached its peak during the later period of the Abbasid Caliphate, the same Abbasid dynasty which supplied the Nights with its great caliph, the charismatic Harun al-Rashid, around whose idealised figure was constructed one of the collection's most distinctive features: a lively pseudo-historical cycle of tales. The Abbasids also built away from Baghdad a magnificent, labyrinthine, fortified city-palace which seems to have helped inspire aspects of the City of Brass and the Copper Castle of the Nights. 3 For the later Abbasid centuries are much the period too when the collection itself began to take shape. It was between the tenth and twelfth centuries that within a Persian framework some Graeco-Indian elements of folklore coalesced with more realistic Baghdadian stories, and, from the eleventh century on, shrewd Egyptian tales (among them some of the most ancient in the collection) were added. The Nights, which by now had become an encyclopaedia of genres (its 'jynamic metabolism' incorporating a multitude of stories within stories), 4 'this book Preface and Acknowledgements XV without an author' settled little by little into its penultimate form in the fifteenth century, and awaited final improvement in its social status at the hands of Antoine Galland in early-eighteenth-century France, the first volumes of Les Mille et une nuits appearing in 1704. 5 Joseph Jacobs, the Victorian folklorist and rival editor of the Nights, summed up the growth of these tales as 'Queen Esther telling Persian tales after the manner of Buddha to Haroun Alrashid in Cairo during the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries.'6 Jacob's witty anachronisms, though, are surpassed by the ingenuity displayed in the black-and-white ornamental Arabic title commis­ sioned by Burton. The aptness of the square Kufic script chosen is further enhanced by a characteristically Arabic series of puns. Embedded in the Arabic lettering is an intricate play on the English words 'square' and 'key'. For 'counterchange' and chequerboard effects of the kind which is approximated here are commonly known as 'key-patterns'. 7 An intriguing example of bilingual paronomasia, this emblem fuses word and image, letters and geometry with the virtuosity of an ideogram.

  • MA Thesis Final Draft
    “YOUR WISH IS MY COMMAND” AND OTHER FICTIONS: RELUCTANT POSSESSIONS IN RICHARD BURTON’S “ALADDIN” By Dan Fang Thesis Submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Vanderbilt University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS in English August, 2011 Nashville, Tennessee Approved: Rachel Teukolsky Dana Nelson The Arabian Nights Entertainments is a work of fantasy, mystery, and the imagination. In it we find bewitching princesses, strange beasts, terrifying jinnis, and epic voyages; from it we draw stories and images that fill our culture with wonder. Since its introduction to the West by Antoine Galland in 1704, stories from the Nights have been rewritten and reworked into everything from children’s stories to operas, musicals to movies. Of all of the stories from the Nights—which consist of more than 400 that a clever girl, Scheherazade, tells to her husband the Sultan over a thousand and one nights in order to stay her execution—the stories of Aladdin and his magical lamp, Ali Baba and his forty thieves, and Sinbad and his seven voyages are arguably the most popular. And since the production of Disney’s 1992 animated feature film, “Aladdin” has become perhaps the most popular of the tales in Western culture. The popularity of “Aladdin” is not a late 20th Century phenomenon, however. Aside from versions of Scheherazade’s own story, “Aladdin” was the first to be incorporated into the British theater.1 Throughout the 19th and 20th Centuries, “Aladdin” has been incorporated into countless collections of children’s bedtime stories, picture books both cheaply accessible and gloriously exquisite, even into handbooks for English instruction in grammar schools.

Published in 1704-1716, Antoine Galland’s Les Milles et Une Nuits: contes arabes traduits en Français (The One Thousand and One Nights: Arab Tales Translated in French)was nothing short of an international phenomenon. Galland’s volumes sold out instantly and even appeared in English Grub street editions well before he was finished translating them in French. Then came the translations of two Englishmen, Edward Lane’s The Arabian Nights’ Entertainments, published in 1838-1840 and Sir Richard Francis Burton’s A Plain and Literal Translation of the Arabian Nights’ Entertainments Now Entituled The Book of the Thousand Nights and a Night, published in 1885- 1888. It soon became a rare works that appealed to both the common man and the cognoscenti alike. It’s fair to remark that the Arabian Nights’ western fame was due in large part, if not entirely, to Galland, Lane, and Burton. Key words: Jinns (Genies), Orientalism, Burton’s English

  • KALILA Wa DEMNA I. Redactions and Circulation in Persian Literature
    CORE Metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk Provided by Columbia University Academic Commons KALILA wa DEMNA i. Redactions and circulation In Persian literature Kalila wa Demna has been known in different versions since the 6th century CE. KALILA wa DEMNA i. Redactions and circulation In Persian literature Kalila wa Demna has been known in different versions since the 6th century CE. The complex relations between the extant New Persian versions, a lost Sanskrit original, and a lost Middle Persian translation have been studied since 1859 when the German Indologist Theodor Benfey (1809- 1881), a pioneer of comparative folklore studies, published a translation of extant Sanskrit versions of the Pañcatantra (lit. “five topics”; for the debate about possible interpretations of the Sanskrit title, see Pañcatantra, tr. Olivelle, pp. xiii-xiv). The scholarly construction of the migration of an Indian story cycle into Near and Middle Eastern languages has received considerable attention, because the project touches on the fundamental question of how to conceive of national and international literary histories if narrative traditions have moved freely between Indo-Iranian and Semitic languages. Two philological approaches dominate the research. Johannes Hertel (1872-1955; q.v.), Mojtabā Minovi (Plate i), and others have focused on editing the earliest versions as preserved in Sanskrit and New Persian manuscripts, while Franklin Edgerton (1885-1963) and François de Blois have created 20th century synthesized versions of the lost Sanskrit and Middle Persian texts. The circulation of Kalila wa Demna in Persian literature documents how Iran mediated the diffusion of knowledge between the Indian subcontinent and the Mediterranean.

    Title: Open Sesame! : the polish Translations of "The Thousand and One Nights" Author: Marta Mamet-Michalkiewicz Citation style: Mamet-Michalkiewicz Marta. (2016). Open Sesame! : the polish Translations of "The Thousand and One Nights". W: A. Adamowicz-Pośpiech, M. Mamet-Michalkiewicz (red.), "Translation in culture" (S. 119-134). Katowice : Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Śląskiego. Marta Mamet-Michalkiewicz UNIVERSITY OF SILESIA IN KATOWICE Open Sesame! The Polish Translations of The Thousand and One Nights ABSTRACT: The author discusses the Polish twentieth-century translations of The Thousand and One Nights indicating different translation strategies and shortcomings of the Polish versions of the book. This article also signalises the process of mythologisation, orientalisa- tion, and fairytalisation of the tales. The author indicates the need of retranslation of The Thousand and One Nights and proposes to perceive the translations of the book and its numerous versions and adaptations through the metaphor of the sesame overfilled with translation treasures which are ‘discovered’ by the reader in the act of reading. KEYWORDS: The Thousand and One Nights, Polish translations, translation, fairytalisation It would be challenging to find a reader who has not heard of Schehera- zade’s stories, Aladdin’s magic lamp, Sinbad or Ali Baba. The cycle of The Thousand and One Nights has been translated into a plethora of European languages and has been retranslated many times (also into Polish). In spite of its complex Arabic origin The Thousand and One Nights1 has been a part of the Western culture. Yet, the popularity of the book and its characters does not project onto at least superficial knowledge of this collection of stories, legends, fables, fairy-tales and, last but not least, poems.

    CHRISTINE VAN RUYMBEKE (UNIVERSITY OF CAMBRIDGE) MURDER IN THE FOREST: CELEBRATING REWRITINGS AND MISREADINGS OF THE KALILA-DIMNA TALE OF THE LION AND THE HARE * SUMMARY This paper considers rewritings and translations of a key-episode within the cycle of fables known as the Kalila-Dimna in several innovative ways. First, by considering the ways in which this episode has been rewritten throughout the centuries, the essay takes a stand radically opposed to the prevalent scholarship around the fables, which consists in rating WKHUHZULWLQJVIRUWKHLUIDLWKIXOQHVVWRWKHVRXUFHWH[W V 7KHSUHVHQWDSSURDFK³FHOHEUDWHV´ the misreadings and rewritings for the insights they give us into the mechanisms of the tale. Second, by analysing the episode as a weighty lesson in domestic politics, showing the fatal mistakes that can build up to regicide, the essay also aims at re-introducing an awareness of the contents of the fables as a very effective and unusual mirror for princes. Keywords: Kalila-Dimna; fables; Pancatantra; rewritings; misreadings; regicide; mirror for princes. RÉSUMÉ Cet article propose un nouveau regard sur la question des ré-écritures et traductions G¶XQ épisode-clé du cycle des fables de Kalila et 'LPQD7RXWG¶DERUGVHSODoDQWjO¶RSSRVpGH O¶DSproche habituelle des fables, qui consiste à en apprécier les différentes versions pour leur ressemblance avec le texte-source, cet article, au contraire, « célèbre » les variantes introduites par les ré-écritures de la fable au cours des siècles. Ces variantes nous donnent des informations quant à la compréhension du contenu de la fable. Ensuite, cet article analyse la fable en tant que leçon de politique domestique, car elle indique les erreurs fatales qui peuvent mener au régicide.
