(Edward William) Lane-Poole, Stanley 1854 1931 Poole, Stanley Lane Arabian Society in the Middle Ages: Studies From The Thousand and One Nights Produced by Fritz Ohrenschall, Moti Ben-Ari and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net. "Arabian Society in the Middle Ages: Studies From The Thousand and One Nights" by Edward William Lane is a historical account likely written in the late 19th century. The work compiles and arranges the extensive notes Lane provided alongside his translation of "The Thousand and One Nights," aiming to elucidate the cultural and social context of Arab society during the medieval period. The book focuses on various aspects of Arabian life, derived from both historical texts and Lane's own observations in Cairo, offering a comprehensive view of societal norms, practices, and beliefs. The opening of this work presents an introduction to the arrangement and purpose of the notes originally scattered throughout Lane's translation. It explains that while these notes encompass a vast array of topics reflecting Arabian society, they have been systematically compiled to facilitate understanding and ease of reference. Notably, the introduction emphasizes the continuity of cultural practices from the medieval period to Lane’s time, highlighting the significant influence of Islam on social laws, traditions, and customs. In doing so, it sets the stage for the detailed examination of various subjects, such as religion, demonology, and social customs, which will follow in the subsequent chapters.
