One Hundred and One Nights (book)

One Hundred and One Nights (Arabic: كتاب فيه حديث مائة ليلة وليلة, romanized: Kitâb Fîhi Hadîth Mi'a Layla wa-Layla) is a book of Arabic literature consisting of twenty stories, which presents many similarities to the more famous One Thousand and One Nights.

The origin of the work is a mystery. Although some suggest the possibility that the stories have their origin in Persia or India, they come from the Maghreb (Northwestern Africa), which in turn, according to other authors, were originated in al-Andalus (Islamic Iberia).

In 2010, the Orientalist Claudia Ott discovered the oldest known manuscript of the text, dated from 1234 or '35, which includes 85 nights.
