Beschreibung
The so-called "orphan stories" are a group of tales in Galland's Mille et une Nuits that were orally communicated to Antoine Galland by Hanna Diyab from Aleppo on the occasion of his visit to Paris in 1709. They were published in volumes nine to twelve of Galland's Mille et une Nuits in 1712-1717. Some of these became the most famous stories of the One Thousand and One Nights, such as Aladdin and Ali Baba. Their origins; their narrator, Hanna Diyab; their transformation by the editor, Galland; and their reception in the 20th century are all research topics that have received much attention in recent years. In the present international workshop, some of the most distinguished specialists will present their newest results and address current research questions, some of which have hitherto been subjects to much controversy.
