Safa Khulusi and 1001 Nights
Thank you for bringing this interesting article to our attention. It reads as a little too speculative to fully solve the mystery of the origin of the Nights and its exact relationship with Hazar Afsan - but coming from a distinguished literary critic it is well worth mentioning. We have an article for Ibn al-Muqaffa' which mentions a number of his translations and original works in similar genres to the Nights, but does not mention this idea of Safa Khulusi that he may have been the first Arabic translator of at least part of Hazar Afsan. Would you like to add this information, (with its references) to the Ibn al-Muqaffa' or the Safa Khulusi articles? They are straying to the very edges of my own knowledge and interest. Some other information from Khulusi's article (such as that Ibn al-Muqaffa' was an Islamic convert with a "Magian" (i.e. Zoroastrian background, might also add some interest to the al-Muqaffa' article. --Soundofmusicals (talk) 00:07, 21 February 2014 (UTC)
