UNIVERSE OF THE THOUSAND AND ONE NIGHTS

Summary/Abstract: The monumental work Thousand and One Nights is a unique representative of the Arabic literature in the West, although it has always been dominated by poetry. This work is also unique in that it, like an ocean or the Universe, collected an abundance of folklore motifs and experiance of literature from the distant and ancient India to the medieval Egypt. Orientalists and Westem folklorists mainly agree that the origins of the general story of the Thousand and One Nights were in India’s literature from wich Ibn al Mukafa took the same general story for his work Kalila and Dimna Persian literature placed its stories entitled Hezar efsane in a suitable form and the Arabs translated that Collection as early as the 9th century.
