Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.

The adventures of the man who created Aladdin The Book of Travels
is Hanna Diyab's remarkable first-person account of his travels as
a young man from his hometown of Aleppo to the court of Versailles
and back again, which forever linked him to one of the most popular
pieces of world literature, the Thousand and One Nights. Diyab, a
Maronite Christian, served as a guide and interpreter for the
French naturalist and antiquarian Paul Lucas. Between 1706 and
1716, Diyab and Lucas traveled through Syria, Cyprus, Egypt,
Tripolitania, Tunis, Italy, and France. In Paris, Hanna Diyab met
Antoine Galland, who added to his wildly popular translation of the
Thousand and One Nights several tales related by Diyab, including
"Aladdin" and "Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves." When Lucas failed
to make good on his promise of a position for Diyab at Louis XIV's
Royal Library, Diyab returned to Aleppo. In his old age, he wrote
this engaging account of his youthful adventures, from capture by
pirates in the Mediterranean to quack medicine and near-death
experiences. Translated into English for the first time, The Book
of Travels introduces readers to the young Syrian responsible for
some of the most beloved stories from the Thousand and One Nights.
A bilingual Arabic-English edition.
