An antique German book entitled, 'Palmblätter; erlesene morgenländische Erzählungen für die Jugend', the English translation of the title, 'Palm Leaves; Oriental Stories for Young People', by August Jacob Liebeskind (1758-1793) who was a German vicar and author."Liebeskind collected a number of Oriental tales which he adapted for a young readership.
