"Continuation of "A Thousand and One Nights"" (1788-1789) is the last work of Jacques Cazot (1719-1792), a French writer, mystic, Kabbalist and Martinist, who, as contemporaries believed, had the gift of foresight. The writer's serious enthusiasm for the mysterious East and the resounding success in Europe of the French translation of "A Thousand and One Nights" (1704-1711), made by Antoine Gallan (1646-1715), prompted Casot to create a continuation of the Gallan vault. Since then, both fabulous collections have been published together more than once. The work of Casot is considered the most skillful continuation of Gallan's undertaking. And this is not surprising, because Kazot based his collection on the original Arabic manuscript of fairy tales specially translated for him, successfully combining them with his own stylization and adaptation for the modern reader. With the appearance in European languages of new translations of various versions of "A Thousand and One Nights," Kazot's composition was gradually forgotten. This edition is designed to fill this gap. This collection reproduces the wonderful illustrations of Clement-Pierre Marillier (1740-1808), created by him for the tales of Cazot as part of a series of illustrations for the famous French multi-volume arch "Cabinet of Fairies" (1785-1789). In addition to the tales of Cazot, the book publishes an essay about him by Gerard de Ner-val (1808-1855), accompanied by classical engravings by Édouard de Beaumont (1821-1888).
