- "This study of the Thousand and One Nights addresses the place of what is commonly called Arabian Nights in contemporary world cultures.

It explores and excavates the reasons for and effects of an enormous constellation of knowledge about and around the tales that has generated further projects to compile manuals, guides, companions, edited compilations, and encyclopedias.
