that he later published as the One Thousand and One Nights. Hanna Diyab told Galland some of stories in that collection which have since become most famous: he was the sole source of "Aladdin and the Lamp" and "Alibaba and the Forty Thieves". Heyberger wrote the introduction to this volume, in which he suggested that Hanna Diyab may have modeled the character of Aladdin on himself, or vice versa – an idea which, in the words of a reviewer, "will no doubt keep a generation of scholars very busy." Heyberger has taught or supervised students at several institutions over the course of his career. These institutions include the Université de Haute-Alsace in Mulhouse, CNRS Strasbourg, Université François-Rabelais in Tours, and, in Paris, the École des Hautes Études en Sciences Sociales (EHESS), and the École Pratique des Hautes Études (EPHE). He held the distinction award of Senior Fellow of the Institut Universitaire de France (2005-2010), and served as Director of the Institut d’études de l’Islam et des Sociétés du Monde Musulman (IISMM) at EHESS from 2010 to 2014.
