This is a list of the stories in
Richard Francis Burton 's translation of
One Thousand and One Nights . Burton's first ten volumes—which he called
The Book of the Thousand Nights and a Night —were published in 1885. His Supplemental Nights were published between 1886 and 1888 as six volumes. Later pirate copies split the very large third volume into two volumes. The nights are in the style of
stories within stories , and the
frame story is The Story Of King Shahryar of Persia and His Brother or The Story Of King Shahryar and Queen Shahrazad , in which
Scheherazade tells tales to her husband
Shahryar .
NOTE: The stories in this collection contains both Sunni and Shi'ite stories and does not follow a specific timeline or chronology. The numbers in parentheses indicate that the night in question began (and the previous night ended) during the tale indicated (or one of its sub-tales). Numbers in double parentheses mean that the story is fully contained in the indicated night. An asterisk indicates the story begins with the night.
