Produced in the Maghreb or Western periphery of the Muslim world (Muslim Spain or North Africa) sometime between the 10th and 14th centuries, the Hundred and One Nights differs in several respects from its sister-narrative, the Thousand and One Nights (which was composed in the Eastern region of the Islamic world, e.g. Egypt, Iran, and/or Syria). The One Hundred and One Nights contains not only fewer but also different stories than its longer analogue, and the relationship between the frame story and the embedded tales is less persistently emphasised.
The version of the Seven Viziers contained within the One Hundred and One Nights shares about half of the embedded stories with the version found in the Thousand and One Nights.

Note
Note: the story order (below, drawn from Nishimura) is broadly reflective of the pattern found in most exemplars of the 101 Nights, which are consistent from the beginning through story 18, Elephantinus. However, the final stories vary from text to text; BNF Arabe 3660 ends after Lac venenatum, following the order presented here, while in BNF Arabe 3662 and Leiden Or. 14.303, Nomina follows Elephantinus, then Ingenia, and in the Leiden text, is then followed by Linteum.
