EJ - Evola and a question

["Lluerna Cultural" <lluerna@oninet.es>]

According I promissi titani, EJ never met Julius Evola.

Perhaps some member of the list can help me. I am interested in reading the
tale of the Emir Musa and the City of brass ( or copper) in The book of a
thousand nights and a night. EJ talked a lot about it in many of his books
and diaries ( Eumeswil, Diaries of Paris,etc). I have been looking for this
story in the most comprehensive spanish edition of this tales, and haven' t
found it. Could anyone give me the number of the night where I could read
the tale?

Thanks in advance,

Dani
