Abstract

Abstract The anonymous thirteenth-century Arabic compilation of wisdom texts, Fiqar al-ḥukamāʾ, contains a hitherto not discussed version of narrative elements that are otherwise known from the frame tale of the Nights, notably both The Thousand and One Nights and its shorter Maghrebi sibling, The Hundred and One Nights. As the Fiqar al-ḥukamāʾ is little known, the present contribution at first introduces the work’s manuscripts and its content before discussing the tale in question.
