In The Great Khan’s Tent Episode VII: The Arabian Nights Part VI

In the Great Khan’s Tent

In this episode, we continue with the story of “The Porter, The Three Ladies of Baghdad, and the Three Dervishes: with Night IX, Night X, and the beginning of Night XI. We also begin to learn more about the three Dervishes with the beginning of the first Dervish’s story “The Story of the First Royal Dervish” in Night XI. This section of the One Thousand and One Nights also marks the first appearance of Harun al-Rashid, Jafar, and the executioner Mansur and we will continue to encounter them in one form or another from now on. This episode, much like the last episode, also continues the scientific wording referring to bodily anatomy.
