[Sca-cooks] Arabian Society in the Middle Age

[Galefridus Peregrinus]

EW Lane, the author of this study, was a pretty high end orientalist 
back in the 19th century. He is the author of Lane's Lexicon, which is 
still about the best Arabic-English dictionary of classical Arabic. This 
book is a compilation of Lane's notes on his translation of the Thousand 
and One Arabian Nights. Since those stories provide a window into many 
aspects of medieval Islamic culture, I'd say that this book has a lot of 
potential. I have downloaded it and will examine it more closely.
