	\|Has Description=The Old Spanish version of the Book of Sindbad, titled ''El libro de los engaños e asayamientos de las mugeres'' (The book of the deceptions and trials of women), represents a unique link between the 'Eastern' version of the narrative and the literary traditions in European languages. The ''Libro'' was composed in 1253, commissioned by don Fadrique, son of King Fernando III and the brother of King Alfonso X 'el sabio' (the wise). The translation of the ''Libro'' into Castilian from an Arabic source was part of a larger project of literary translation in thirteenth-century Spain, and the court of Alfonso X in particular; just a year or two before the composition of the ''Libro'', for example, the translation of ''Kalilah wa- Dimna'' into Old Spanish was completed (see Keller 1975, Lacarra 2009).		\|Has Description=The Old Spanish version of the Book of Sindbad, titled ''El libro de los engaños e asayamientos de las mugeres'' (The book of the deceptions and trials of women), represents a unique link between the 'Eastern' version of the narrative and the literary traditions in European languages.

	The sole suriving manuscript that contains the ''Libro'', found in the Real Academia Española in Madrid, was composed sometime in the 14th century. It is usually referred to by the title of the first text in the manuscript, ''El Conde Lucanor'', by Juan Manuel. It is worth noting that ''El Conde,'' which is also a collection of exempla, contains a version of the story [[Vulpes]] - a story found in several of the 'Eastern' versions, but not included in the ''Libro.'' According to Ramos (2005), this may explain its absence from the end of the ''Libro -'' the scribe had already copied a version of the narrative earlier in the same collection and did not wish to repeat it. However, that absence may also be incidental, as Vulpes only occasionally appears in the Arabic 'Seven Viziers' narrative in the One Thousand and One Nights, and is not found in the [[A101 (Hundred and One Nights)\|One Hundred and One Nights]] — the ''Libro'''s closest analogue, and possibly its source (Lacarra 2009).

	The manuscript itself has sometimes been critically designated as not one, but two texts: the 'basic' or central text in a clear miniscule, and the 'almost three hundred' interlinear and marginal emendations, which Keller describes as 'so pronounced as to provide a surprisingly divergent set of readings, often completely changing the meaning' (Keller 1975, p. 276). In fact, several editions - [[Bonilla y San Martín, Libro de los engaños (1904)]], [[Comparetti, Ricerche intorno al libro de Sindibâd (1869)]], and [[González Palencia, Versiones Castellanas del Sendebar (1946)]] - follow the emendations rather than solely the base text. Other editions, such as [[Keller, Libro de los engaños (1959)\|Keller's 1959 edition]], use the base text as the source text, with the emendations given as notes.

	The ''Libro'' shares most of its stories with the ''One Hundred and One Nights'', though it is missing a handful (including the initial opening tale of the [[Elephantus\|King and the Elephant]] told by the sage Sendebar, or Cendubete in the Old Spanish), and instead includes three stories not found in the ''One Hundred and One Nights.''
