[Lane, Edward]

The Arabian Nights' Entertainments. Translated from the Arabic. A New and Complete Edition. [The Thousand and One Nights]

Edinburgh: William P. Nimmo, 1870. Groves, S.J. Hard Cover. Very Good / No Jacket. Item #2303154

540 pp. 8vo. Green cloth, gilt titles, top edge gilt. Two-column format. Over 100 woodcuts from illustrations by S.J. Groves. Though no translator is credited, this is most likely an Edward Lane translation given the date -- Payne and Burton would not release their versions until the 1880s, and both changed the title from The Arabian Nights Entertainments to slightly different forms of The Book of the Thousand Nights and a Night.
