Nachdruck der Ausgabe London 1736, welche erstmals die Noten von John Ozell, Peter Anthony Motteux und Sir Thomas Urquhart enthielt. Die Übersetzung war erstmals 1653 erschienen: "Formerly translated by Sir Thomas Urquart, M.D. and explained by Mr. Motteux. Since carefully revised, and compared throughout with M. le Du Chat's edition, by Mr. Ozell, who has likewise added, at the bottom of the pages, a translation of the notes, historical, critical and explanatory, of the said M. le Du Chat, and others; in which notes, the text is not only explained, but, in multitudes of places, amended, and made conformable to the first and best editions of this learned and facetious author" (Untertitel). "Cette traduction [...] les Anglais regardent comme un modèle en ce genre" (Brunet).
