"culminated in the Arabian Nights, and which inspired the "Golden Ass" of Apuleius, Boccacio's "Decamerone," the "Pentamerone," and all that class of facetious fictitious literature." This quote makes no sense; the Golden Ass was written at least 600 years before Arabian Nights.

The quote doesn't say that Arabian Nights inspired the Golden Ass; it should be read as "Baital Pachisi culminated in the Arabian Nights, and Baital Pachisi inspireed the Golden Ass...". utcursch | talk 12:29, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

Reading the article, the "and which" seems to make it clear that Baital Pachisi inspired the Golden Ass...in other words I didn't have a problem understanding it.--24.46.164.83 04:25, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

On another point, I think the section about the end, "After 25 stories", is really hard to read. It needs some definite editing. I suspect it was written by someone whose first language wasn't English...which is fine, except that it's hard to understand! --24.46.164.83 04:25, 11 April 2007 (UTC)
