"Supplemental Nights to the Book of the Thousand and One Nights — Volume 4" by Richard Francis Burton is part of a translation series published between 1886-1888. This volume continues Burton's controversial rendering of Arabian Nights tales, noted for its unflinching approach to sexual content and elaborate scholarly commentary. Burton's work stands as the only complete English translation of the Egyptian recension, distinguished by archaic language and extensive footnotes exploring Oriental customs.
Originally printed as a private subscribers-only edition to circumvent Victorian obscenity laws, these supplemental volumes extend Burton's ambitious literary project. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
