As scholars were looking for the presumed "complete" and "original" form of the Nights, they naturally turned to the more voluminous texts of the Egyptian recension, which soon came to be viewed as the "standard version". The first translations of this kind, such as that of Edward Lane (1840, 1859), were bowdlerized. Unabridged and unexpurgated translations were made, first by John Payne, under the title "The Book of the Thousand Nights and One Night" (1882, nine volumes), and then by Sir Richard Francis Burton, entitled "The Book of the Thousand Nights and a Night" (1885, ten volumes) – the latter was, according to some assessments, partially based on the former, leading to charges of plagiarism.
