In a previous Galland post, the contents of Volumes 1 & 2 were provided. Here are the contents of Volumes 3 & 4. The first four volumes of Galland were published in 1704 and were the first published occurrence of the Arabian Nights in Europe. As it happens, the manuscripts that Galland was translating were and remain the oldest and most extensive. Fragments exist in earlier manuscripts, like the 9th piece of paper that contains the beginning of the Shahrazad frame story.
With volume 3, Galland decided to deviate from translating the 14th century Syrian manuscripts in his possession. The tales of Sindbad the Sailor, prior to Galland, had their own manuscript tradition and were not considered to be part of the Alf Layla wa-Layla, the Thousand and One Nights. This is the begining of the creation of The Arabian Nights’ Entertainment, separate from the Alf Layla wa-Layla. Almost from the day they were published, the European Arabian Nights began accumulating other material. Some of that material was from other Arabian or Persian sources. Later in Galland’s edition, completely new stories will be included. These stories are now some of the most well known of the Arabian Nights tales.
The non-Sindbad stories of volume 3 are the only ones contained in the Syrian manuscript.

Hello
I am composing a brief table to succinctly indicate the primary source material for each of the 12 Volumes of Mille et un Nuits (part of a university assignment).
Could you please tell me where you are accessing the contents of the Mille et one Nuits volumes? I can’t find any contents list on line (except your posts concerning the first four volumes).
Galland (supposedly) received a manuscript of the tale of Alâ al-Dîn, which would have appeared somewhere in volume 9-12 with the orphan tales, however I’m not sure which volume to record the manuscript against.
Could you perhaps tell me which volume Alâ al-Dîn appears in?
Thank you kindly
Jay Kylie
Hi,
My source for the contents of Galland is:
Galland, A. Les Mille et Une Nuit Contes Arabes. Aleide: J. De Wetstein & Fils, 1768. 12 volumes. I have no reason to beleave that the TOC of this set is any different than what was originally published. I have looked at an earlier volume, from 1730, and the TOC is the same.
The story of Ala al-Din, or Histoire d’Aladdin, ou de la Lampe marveilleuse, begins in volume 9 and ends in volume 10. Have a look at Marzolph’s The Arabian Nights Encyclopedia, 2004, Vol. 1. p. 82-85 for a summary of the publishing history of Aladdin. Victor Chauvin’s Bibliographie des Ouvrages Arabes,1901, vol 5, pp 55-67 also provides plenty of publishing information on Aladdin.
