THE PERFUMED GARDEN
OF THE
CHEIKH NEFZAOUI
—
NOTE
The "Perfumed Garden'' was translated into French
before the year 1850, by a Staff Officer of the French
army in Algeria. An autograph edition, printed in the
italic character, was printed in 1876, but, as only twenty
five copies are said to have been made, the book is both
rare and costly, while, from the peculiarity of its type, it
is difficult and fatiguing to read. An admirable reprint
has, however, been recently issued in Paris, with the
translator's notes and remarks, revised and corrected by
the light of the fuller knowledge of Algeria which has
been acquired since the translation was made. From
that last edition the present translation (an exact and
literal one)—has been made, and it is the first time that
the work, one of the most remarkable of its kind,
has appeared in the English language.
