3. Introduction The folktale  Aladdin  is familiar to people across the world. Although its origins are somewhat disputed, it was popularized by the French scholar Antoine Galland who is famous for his translation of the Arabic manuscript  One Thousand and One Nights  which can be traced back to the late 14th Century. The story of  Aladdin , is much more recent. According to Galland , he heard the story from a Syrian man from Aleppo and later decided to include it in his translation of  One Thousand and One Nights,  despite the fact that it was not a part of the original manuscript. The folktale explores the themes of luck, desire, greed, and obsession. Retold with myriad variations, it is the story of a poor young man whose life turns from rags to riches when a magic lamp falls into his hands. But good fortune comes at a cost and the genie that changes Aladdin’s life is coveted by others.

4. Entry Points Many people mistakenly believe that “Aladdin and the Wonderful Lamp” is a part of  A Thousand and One Nights , a collection of Middle Eastern folktales. This text is known in English as  Arabian Nights . However, this tale was not added to the translated Arabic versions until they were collected by French writer Antoine Galland in the early 1700s. Galland reported that he was told the story by a Syrian storyteller named Hanna Diyab . Some scholars believe that Galland made up these stories and that later Arabic versions are based on the French publication.
