Abstract
This essay is concerned with the links between the Arabian Nights and Iranian Culture. While the links are to some extent quite obvious and have been extensively discussed in previous research, some implications are less visible. In surveying these links, I discuss five major areas: (1) The Iranian prototype of the Nights; (2) Tales of alleged Persian origin; (3) Persian characters within the tales; (4) Persian translations of the Arabian Nights; and (5) The position of the Arabian Nights in modern Iran.
