we are indebted to Macdonald for some substantial preparatory studies in this

field, which were published between 1909 and 1924. His preparatory studies are
highly valuable contributions to the “demystification” of the matter: he could
demonstrate that the “Breslau [53] edition” was not based on a true oriental
recension of the Nights—as its editor says on the title page—but was a compilation
made by its editor Maximilian Habicht himself, a compilation which included,
however, fragments of “authentic” recensions of the Nights; he could further
demonstrate that the text of the Calcutta II print—which is said, on the title
page, to be based on a MS brought from Egypt—is partly expanded by passages taken
from the Calcutta I print, which is of the same recension as the Galland MS; and he
was able to classify most of the MSS of the Nights.
