HISTOIRE PLURIELLE DES MILLE ET UNE NUITS

Résumé

It is less through the Arabic texts that the Nights are recognized than through the translations, especially that of Galland, its subtitle “Arabian Tales” and its additions of real folk tales. Through this prism, the Nights naturally became a collection of “tales”. The Arabic texts, on the other hand, are presented as an exemplary history of the world revisited by Islam. Indeed, Islam still plays an important role in the textual history of the Nights, especially in the context of a complementarity between the prologue of the Syrian branch manuscripts (id. G), where Šahrazād learns medicine, and the epilogue of the Kayseri family manuscripts, where Šahrazād heals the king through the recollection of his own history (mirror narrative of the “old life”) based on Indian traditions. These versions provide Šahrazād with a role more marked by her feminism. To the king in the prologue of G who quotes a Qur’anic verse to denigrate women, Šahrazād counters in the epilogue of Kayseri with another verse that redeems women, placing the debate over the role of women at the heart of Islam. The best-known Nights texts (ZER family) have made other choices and are more conservative. In sum, a plurality of visions that can only be understood through a plural history of the Nights.
