Why did Solomon bind demons in brass vessels? What’s the connection between leather bags, necromancy and the winds? We explore the history of jinn, metals and spirit-containers, and how all these themes flower in the collection of medieval Islamic stories known as the Thousand and One Nights (Arabic: أَلْفُ لَيْلَةٍ وَلَيْلَةٌ, Alf Laylah wa-Laylah), by reading part of ‘The City of Brass’.
