About this book
Between 1833 and 1835 Edward William Lane lived in Egypt and wrote this account of its people, which first appeared in 1836. It describes everyday life of his day: homes and family, dress, religion, superstitions, festivals and trades. This illustrated edition carries eighty illustrations and sixteen full-page engravings, a biographical introduction, and song texts with their musical notation. Lane, born at Hereford in 1801, also translated the Thousand and One Nights and compiled an Arabic-English lexicon.
