Who wrote the Aladdin and magic lamp?

The story of "Aladdin and the Magic Lamp" is part of the collection known as "One Thousand and One Nights" or "Arabian Nights." However, it was not originally included in the earliest versions of the collection; it was added by Antoine Galland, a French translator, in the early 18th century after hearing it from a Syrian storyteller. The tale has since become one of the most famous stories associated with the collection.
