It was purchased by the Bibliothèque Nationale at the end of the nineteenth century. The other is supposed to be a copy Mikhail Sabbagh made of a manuscript written in Baghdad in 1703. One was written by a Syrian Christian priest living in Paris, named Dionysios Shawish, alias Dom Denis Chavis. Payne also records the discovery in the Bibliothèque Nationale in Paris of two Arabic manuscripts containing Aladdin (with two more of the "interpolated" tales). It was included in his volumes ix and x of the Nights, published in 1710, without any mention or published acknowledgment of Hanna's contribution. Galland's diary further reports that his transcription of "Aladdin" for publication occurred in the winter of 1709–10. According to Galland's diary, he met with Hanna, who had travelled from Aleppo to Paris with celebrated French traveller Paul Lucas, on March 25, 1709. John Payne quotes passages from Galland's unpublished diary: recording Galland's encounter with a Maronite storyteller from Aleppo, Hanna Diyab.

The mother of two, whose children graduated from UNIS Hanoi in 20, said she felt it was important to write such a story for other Koreans, especially as the number of Koreans living abroad has increased exponentially over the years. Explaining further, Kelly said, “My novel explores various aspects of the expat life: privilege and loss, intimacy, belonging and identity, family, friendship, global education, language barriers, bullying, work, dangers living abroad, individualism versus collectivism, and much more.” The fictional story follows the lives of two women - Young-A and Yun-Jin as they discover the “struggles and pangs” of living abroad and repatriation. After 20 years of living abroad, Kelly Kyung Hee Kim has charted what she’s learned over the years and artfully woven them into a heartwarming narrative that is her debut novel, ‘Leaving for Slovakia’. A journey of self exploration as a Korean expatriate led one UNIS Hanoi alum to write her first book.
