Translations of One Thousand and One Nights
Galland based his translation on a three- or four-volume manuscript from the 14th or 15th century. Three volumes of that manuscript were placed in the National Library of France. Galland's translation altered the style, tone and content of the Arabic text. Designed to appeal, it omitted sophisticated or dark elements while enhancing exotic and magical elements and became the basis of most children's versions of "One Thousand and One Nights".
