The Galland exerted a significant influence on French literature, coming out at the opening of the C18th, considerably before Burton, or Rueckert for that matter.
Friedrich Rueckert is an interesting guy; Wikipedia notes that Rueckert "was master of thirty languages", and others than Schubert (Winterreise) and Mahler (Kindertotenlieder) set his work to music: "Schubert, Robert and Clara Schumann, Brahms (Two Songs for Voice, Viola and Piano, among others), Josef Rheinberger, Mahler (song cycles Kindertotenlieder, Rueckert-Lieder), Max Reger, Richard Strauss, Zemlinsky, Hindemith, Bartok, Berg, Hugo Wolf, Heinrich Kaspar Schmid, and Jah Wobble." From what I've seen, no edition of his works is in print (partly because of extensive translation in it).
Update: OK, I've figured out part of what gets eaten at present. Any character with a diacritical mark deletes all subsequent text. Rueckert, Bartok did so. I've removed the diacriticals.
