Aladdin is a folk tale of Middle Eastern origin. It is one of the tales in The Book of One Thousand and One Nights , and one of the best known—despite not being part of the original Arabic text. It was added to the collection in the 18th century by the Frenchman Antoine Galland, who acquired the tale from a Syrian Maronite storyteller, Youhenna Diab, also known as Hanna Diyab. Contemporary historians consider Diyab to have been the original author of "Aladdin" and believe the tale to have been partly inspired by Diyab's own life. Since it first appeared in the early 18th century, "Aladdin and the Magic Lamp" has been one of the best known and most retold of all fairy tales.
