Note

See Rieu (1888) p. 219.

From the British Library catalogue: "Copies of the Forty Vezirs vary considerably with regard to the subjects and the arrangement of the tales. The text in this copy substantially agrees with the translation of Behrnauer and has the same stories, with some divergences in detail. It is also, therefore, less complete than Add MS 7882. It is lacking the story of the second night. The manuscript has lost about a page at the beginning and the same amount at the end. It is also missing two folios after f 10 and one after f 13. A later hand has supplied ff 2-3."
