"Supplemental Nights to the Book of the Thousand and One Nights — Volume 1" by Richard Francis Burton is a collection of tales published between 1886-1888. This work extends Burton's controversial ten-volume translation of the Arabian Nights with seven additional volumes of stories from the Islamic Golden Age. Burton's version preserves the original texts' sexual content through extensive footnotes exploring Oriental customs, making it a private subscription edition to avoid Victorian obscenity laws. His translation stands as both scholarly achievement and personal interpretation, celebrated for completeness while criticized for archaic language and obsessive focus on sexuality.
