Among standard 19th-century printed editions, the name appears as شهرزاد (Šahrazād) in Macnaghten's Calcutta edition (1839-1842)[7] and in the 1862 Bulaq edition,[8] and as شاهرزاد (Šāhrazād) in the Breslau edition (1825-1843).[9] Muhsin Mahdi's critical edition has شهرازاد (Šahrāzād).[10] Scheherazade had perused the books, annals, and legends of preceding Kings, and the stories, examples, and instances of bygone men and things; indeed it was said that she had collected a thousand books of histories relating to antique races and departed rulers. So, the king spared her life for one day to finish the story the next night. At the end of 1,001 nights, and 1,000 stories, Scheherazade told the king that she had no more tales to tell him.	./cache/en-wikipedia-org-914.html	./txt/en-wikipedia-org-914.txt
