Aladdin No Arabic written source has been traced for the tale, which was incorporated into the book Les Mille et Une Nuits by its French translator, Antoine Galland, who heard it from a Syrian storyteller from Aleppo, Youhenna Diab.[3] Galland's diary (March 25, 1709) records that he met the Maronite scholar, by name Youhenna Diab ("Hanna"), who had been brought from Aleppo to Paris by Paul Lucas, a celebrated French traveller.[3] Galland's diary also tells that his translation of "Aladdin" was made in the winter of 1709â€“10. It was included in his volumes ix and x of the Nights, published in 1710.
