Fantastic review! It's a perfect companion to the review on ACX. Notes 18-21 were especially edifying to me and totally overlooked by Scott.

Nice, it looks like this is one of those translations that go back to the original source rather than translating Galland. Let me know how you like it!

The Arabian Nights is the real-life inspiration for Disney's Aladdin. Fun article!
