| Aladdin being trapped by the Sorcerer, from Wikipedia |
I began this week with
Aladdin, who was the focus of part of my reading this week. I found that his story was added to 1001 Arabian Nights by
Antoine Galland in the 18th century. He was a French archaeologist focused on the Islamic world. He did some work for the
French East India Company, a large trading conglomerate. It was first founded by
Henry IV, the French King from 1589 to 1610. Thanks for reading with me this week.
