"Supplemental Nights to the Book of the Thousand and One Nights — Volume 2" by Richard Francis Burton is part of a translation series published between 1886-1888. Burton's complete seventeen-volume work presents unexpurgated Arabian Nights tales, featuring extensive footnotes on Oriental customs and sexuality. Published privately to avoid Victorian obscenity laws, this controversial translation drew both admiration and criticism for its archaic language and obsessive sexual focus, while facing plagiarism accusations regarding John Payne's earlier work.
