"Supplemental Nights to the Book of the Thousand and One Nights — Volume 5" by Richard Francis Burton is part of a translation series published between 1886-1888. This volume belongs to Burton's seven supplemental volumes that followed his original ten-volume translation of the Arabian Nights. Burton's work stands as the only complete English translation of the Calcutta II edition, featuring unexpurgated tales from the Islamic Golden Age. Known for archaic language and
extensive notes on Oriental customs, this controversial translation was printed privately due to Victorian obscenity laws. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
