Burton’s English edition includes sections drawn directly from the original Arabic manuscript, which were not included in the French translation. According to Penzer there was an edition issued in parts of the English translation by Burton, also dated 1886, but it appears to be so rare that Penzer himself had never seen it. The above is the ‘authorised’ as opposed to the pirated edition, which was issued in the same year, but with different spelling , ‘Sheikh’, on the title, and printed in different ink. (Penzer pp. 173-75). Bookseller Inventory # 43488
