The Thousand and One Nights (translated by Edward Lane)
Available courtesy of your local second-hand bookshop. Lane worked on his translation in 1838-41. My copy dates from 1863, and despite the fact that the translator (as he mentions in his introduction) 'thought it right to omit such tales, anecdotes, &c., as are comparatively uninteresting or on any account objectionable', it is the most complete version of the Nights that I have been able to get my hands on; and the fact that these Nights were bowdlerised by the author in the name of decency should give the reader some idea of the scope of the major complete translations of the inflated Egyptian (Bulaq) edition of the work.

CONCLUSION

Husain Haddawy - The Arabian Nights
Haddawy's translation of the lost Syrian document reconstructed by Mahdi only contains nine core stories; i.e. all the stories found in the earliest versions of the Nights with the exception of "Qamar al-Zaman and His Two Sons, Amjad and As'ad" - the only early Syrian document containing this story is incomplete, so Haddawy left it out. Both Haddawy's volumes combine to make up the critical edition of the Arabian Nights for the monoglot purist.
