Thank you, Dr. Roper! I have been inspired by Marzolph’s bibliography. Albiblio aims to focus on the Egyptian editions of the Nights and their reception in Egypt and also list scholarly research – in Arabic and other languages – about this corpus. So the “Research” on Albiblio will be relatively narrowed with respect to focus. I will continue to study Marzolph’s website and other sources to track this corpus, and your comments and suggestions will be appreciated.
