The above list does not include copies or fragments in various libraries of which M. Zotenberg has no sufficient information, nor miscellaneous collection in which tales from the Nights are mixed with others.

Portions of Habicht’s Ms. appear to belong to the Egyptian recension, and others to have come from further East.

There is a Ms. in the Bibliotheque Nationale (Suppl.  Arabe, No. 1721, IV.) from Egypt, containing the first 210 Nights, which somewhat resembles Habicht’s Ms. both in style and in the arrangement of the tales.  The Third Shaykh’s Story (No. 1 c.) is entirely different from those in the ordinary MSS., nor is it the same as that in the Turkish version of the Nights, which is again quite different from either.  In this Ms. (No. 1721, IV.) No. 6 is followed by Nos. 7, 174, and 133.
