The Sinbad Tales are a relatively late addition to Thousand and One Nights - they are not featured in the earliest 14th century manuscript, and appear as independent cycles in the collection of the 17th and 18th centuries. The first known point where they are related to Nights are Turkish collections dated 1637. Traceable influences include the Homer epic (long known in the Arabic speaking world, translated into that language during the past in the 8th century, in the palace Caliph al-Mahdi), Pseudo-Callisthenes's "Life of Alexander" from the end of the 3rd/early 4th century through the 9th century "Beast Book" of al-Jahiz, and, even earlier, in " Sailors of Light "ancient Egypt. Other "latest" sources include the Abbasid working like "The Wonders of a Created World", reflecting the experiences of 13th-century Arabian seafarers who challenge the Indian Ocean.

Sinbad Cycle is governed during the reign of the Abbasid Caliph Harun al-Rashid (786-809). The story of Sinbad is included in the first European translation of the Arabic Night of Les Mille et une nuits, contes arabes traduits en franÃÆ'§ais , an English edition that appeared in 1711 as New Arabian winter nighttime entertainment and went through various editions throughout the 18th century.

The earliest separate publication of the Sinbad story in English found in the English library is adaptations such as The Adventures of the Age of Banow, etc. (Taken from the Arabian Nights, being the third and fourth journey of Sinbad the Sailor.) , around 1770. The first US edition of the seafaring Sinbad sailors. And Aladdin's Story; or, The wonderful lamp was published in Philadelphia in 1794. Many popular editions followed in the early 19th century including a chap book edition by Thomas Tegg. His most complete known translation is probably the 120th tale in Volume 6 of Sir Richard Burton's 1885 translation of the Book of One Thousand and One Nights .

Tales

Sinbad the Porter and Sinbad Sailer

Like 1001 Nights , the Sinbad story cycle has a story of the frame that goes as follows: during the time of Harun al-Rashid, the Caliph of Baghdad, a poor porter (the one who brought goods to others in the market and the whole city) stopped to rest on a bench outside the gate of the house of a wealthy merchant, where he complained to God of the world's injustices that enabled the rich to live quietly while he had to work hard and yet remain poor. Homeowners hear and send for porters, finding that they are both named Sinbad. Rich Sinbad told the poor Sinbad that he became rich "by Fortune and Destiny" in the marvelous seven journey trips, which he then produced.

Sailor's First Sinbad Cruise

After throwing away the wealth left by his father, Sinbad went to sea to repair his fortune. He landed on an island, but the island proved to be a giant sleeping whale where trees have roots since the whales were young. Woken up by a fire lit by sailors, the whale dives into the depths, the ship departs without Sinbad, and Sinbad is saved by the possibility of a passing wooden trough sent by God's grace. He was stranded on a heavily wooded island. While exploring a lonely island he found one of the bride-to-be. When Sinbad helped save the King's horse from being drowned by a sea horse (not a sea horse as we know it, but a supernatural horse that lives under water), the groom brings Sinbad to the king. The king befriended Sinbad and he rose in favor of the king and became a trusted retainer. One day, the ship where Sinbad sailed the dock on the island, and he reclaimed his belongings (still in the hold of the ship). Sinbad gave the king his goods and in return the king gave him a rich gift. Sinbad sells these gifts to make a big profit. Sinbad returns to Baghdad where he continues an easy and fun life. With the ending of the story, Sinbad the sailor made Sinbad a gift porter of a hundred gold pieces, and offered him back the next day to hear more about his adventures.

Sinbad Second Seafarers

On the second day of narrating the story of Sinbad (but 549th night of Scheherazade), Sinbad the sailor tells how he became restless with his relaxed life, and went back to sea, "having a mind to travel about the human world and seeing their city and island." Happened to be abandoned by his shipmate again, he found himself stranded on an island containing roc eggs. He attaches himself to a roc and is transported to a giant snake valley that can swallow an elephant (like Bashe); this serves as a natural prey for rocs'. The floor of the valley is lined with diamonds, and the traders harvest this by throwing large chunks of meat into the valley: the birds carry the meat back to their nest, and the people chase away the birds and collect the diamonds that stick to the flesh. The clever man Sinbad tied one of the pieces of meat to his back and brought back to the nest along with a huge sack full of precious gems. Saved from the nest by the merchants, he returned to Baghdad with a fortune in diamonds, seeing many wonders along the way.

Third Sailing Sinbad of the Seaman

Restless for travel and adventure, Sinbad sails again from Basra. But by coincidence he and his friends were thrown on an island where they were captured by "great beings in human form, black,... with eyes like embers of fire and big fangs like wild boar fangs and big mouths like the mouths of wells In addition, he has long, loose lips like a camel, hanging over his chest, and ears like two Jarms falling over his shoulders, and his fingernails are like the claws of a lion. "The monster starts eating crew, starting with Reis (captain) the most fat. (Burton notes that the giant was "clearly Polyphemus").

Sinbad hatches a plan to blind the beast with two hot red iron spills that the monster uses to grab and bake the ship's company. He and the remaining people ran away on the raft they had built the day before. However, the Giant's pair hits most of the men fleeing with rocks and they are killed. After further adventures (including the giant python who fled from Sinbad using his quick intelligence), he returned to Baghdad, richer than ever.

Sailor's Fourth Sinbad Sailing

Driven by anxiety Sinbad takes to the sea again and, as usual, is stranded. The naked wild men among them find themselves feeding his friends the potion that robs them of their reason (Burton theorises that this may be bhang), before fattening them to the table. Sinbad is aware of what is happening, and refuses to eat plants that stimulate insanity. When the cannibals had lost interest in him, he ran away. A gathering party of pepper to carry it to their own island, where their king befriends him and gives him a beautiful and rich wife.

Too late Sinbad learned about the weird habit of the land: on the death of one marriage partner, the other was buried alive with his partner, both in the best clothes and the most expensive jewelry. Sinbad's wife fell ill and died soon after, leaving Sinbad trapped in an underground cave, communal tomb, with a jar of water and seven pieces of bread. Just as this little supply is running out, another couple - the dead husband, the living wife - is dropped into the cave. Sinbad beat his wife to death and took his share.

Such episodes continue; soon he had a large sack of bread and water, and gold and jewels from the corpses, but still could not escape, until one day the beast showed him a corridor outward, high above the sea. From here a passing ship saved him and brought him back to Baghdad, where he gave alms to the poor and continued his life. (Burton's footnote comments: "This story is obviously drawn from the escape of Aristomenes, the Messenians from the hole where he was thrown, a fox to be his mentor The early Arabs were passionate Greek literature students"), the beak the first voyage resembles the episode of Circe on The Odyssey, with a certain distinction: while the plant robs the Sinbad people for their reason in the Arab stories, it is just Circe's magic "fatted" Odysseus' The man in The Odyssey . In the previous episode, featuring the 'Lotus Eaters', that Odysseus men were fed similar magical fruit that robbed their senses.

The 5th Sinbad Sailor's Cruise

"When I was on the beach after my fourth voyage, and when, in my comfort and pleasure and festivity and in my joy over my great advantages and advantages, I have forgotten all that I have experienced from danger and suffering, with a longing to travel and to see foreign countries and islands. "Immediately at sea once again, as it passed the remote island, the Sinbad crew discovered a giant egg that Sinbad recognized as belonging to roc. Out of curiosity, the ship's passengers went down to see the eggs, only to finally break them and let the chicks in them as food. Sinbad immediately recognizes the folly of their behavior and orders all returns to the ship. However, angry rocs parents soon catch up with the ship and destroy it by dropping the giant rocks they carry in their claws.

Once again stranded, Sinbad is enslaved by the Old Man of the Sea, riding on his shoulders with his legs spinning around Sinbad's neck and will not release him, riding it day and night until Sinbad will die. (Burton's footnote discusses the origins of possibly the orang-orangans, the Greek god of Triton - and loves Africa's habit of riding a slave this way.)

Finally, Sinbad makes wine and deceives the Parents to drink some. Sinbad kills him after he falls, and then he runs away. A ship takes it to the Monkey City, a place where its inhabitants spend every night on offshore vessels, while their city is abandoned for human-eating apes. But through the monkeys, Sinbad regained his fortune, and finally found a ship that brought him once more to Baghdad.

The Six Sailors Sinbad Cruises

"My soul longs for travel and traffic". Sinbad again stranded, this time quite hard when his ship was smashed to pieces on a high cliff. There is no food to be had anywhere, and Sinbad's friends die of starvation until only he is left. He built a raft and found a river that flows out of the cave beneath the cliff. The flow proved to be filled with precious stones and it became clear that the flow of the island flowed with ambergris. He fell asleep as he traveled through the darkness and awakened in the city of King Serendib (Ceylon, Sri Lanka), "diamonds are in the river and pearls in the valleys". The king admired what Sinbad told him about the great Haroun al-Rashid, and requested that he bring a gift back to Baghdad on his behalf, a cup carved from a ruby, with other gifts including a bed made of snake skin elephant ("and" whoever seated on it never fell ill "), and" a hundred thousand misses of Sindh lign-aloesa ", and a slave girl" like a shining moon ". And Sinbad returned to Baghdad, where the Caliph longed for the reports Sinbad gave about the land of Ceylon.

Seventh and Last Voyage of Sinbad the Sailor

Sinbad set anxious to re-sail again, with the usual results. Transporting on a secluded beach, he built a raft and floats in the nearest river to the big city. Here the head of the trader marries Sinbad with his daughter, named him the heir, and died comfortably. The inhabitants of this city change once a month into a bird, and Sinbad has one of the birds carrying it to the top of the sky, where he heard angels glorifying God, "where I wonder and exclaim, 'Praise God! Glorified into God's perfection! "" But shortly after the words out there came fire from heaven that all ate the birds. The birds were angry with Sinbad and placed him at the top of the mountain, where he met two young men who were servants of God and who gave him the staff back to the city, Sinbad learns from his wife that the birds are demons, though he and his father are not of their number. So, at his wife's advice, Sinbad sold all his possessions and returned with him to Baghdad, where he finally decided to live calmly in enjoying his wealth, and no longer looking for adventure.

Burton includes a variant of the seventh story, in which Haroun al-Rashid asked Sinbad to bring the gift back to the king of Serendib. Sinbad replied, "By Allah Almighty, O my Lord, I have hated all the way, and when I hear the words 'Voyage' or 'Journey', my legs tremble". He then informed the Caliph of his disastrous journey; Haroun agrees that with such history, "you are only righteous and never even talked about the journey". Nevertheless, the Khalifah command should not be negated, and Sinbad establishes this, his unique diplomatic journey. King Serendib was delighted with the gift of the Caliph (who included, among other things, King Solomon's food tray) and Sinbad's bath with his delights. On the way back, the usual disaster strikes happen: Sinbad is captured and sold as a slave. His master arranged him to shoot elephants with bows and arrows, which he did until the elephant king took him to the elephant grave. Mr. Sinbad is very happy with the huge amount of ivory in the cemetery that he made Sinbad free, and Sinbad returned to Baghdad, rich with ivory and gold. "Here I went to the caliph and, after paying homage to him and kissing his hand, telling him all that happened to me, where he rejoiced in my salvation and thanked God Almighty, and he made my story written in gold letters. my home and meet my family and my brothers: and that is the end of history that happened to me during my seven journeys Praise be to Allah, the One, the Creator, the Creator of all things in Heaven and Earth!

In some versions we return to the frame story, where Sinbad the Porter can receive the last cheap gift from Sinbad the Sailor. In other versions, the story cycle ends here, and Sinbad the Porter is no longer mentioned.
