Abstract

Remarks on Jane Hathaway’s "nostalgia" theory (see infra, n. 6) concerning the impression left by the Mamluk sultans left on historiography.  Our remarks are based on manuscripts (especially the unpublished BNF arabe 3651) that did not become part of The Arabian Nights but help in understanding how that collection formed and took shape.
