A number of websites mistakenly credit the script to F. P. (Felix Paul) Greve, later known in Canada as Frederick Philip Grove, who published a German translation of One Thousand and One Nights in 1909. (Source: Zur Kulturgeschichte der Märchen 17. Mai 2015, p. 7n.) These sources are apparently confusing '1001 Nights' with the similarly-titled collection Les Mille et un jours ('1001 Days') (1710–1712) by François Pétis de la Croix, from which the story of Turandot is taken.
