  • Actually "Guido und Fiammetta" by Christian Friedrich Wilhelm Jacobs (1824)
• The Twelve Nights (1831) (transcription project)
  • Attributed to "Baron Karl von Miltie" in Samuel Halkett's Dictionary of the Anonymous and Pseudonymous Literature volume 4 (1888) (external scan)
  • The book's preface says that most chapters are based on stories from French periodicals; of the twelve chapters, eight have been identified as translations from several authors, none of which are Miltitz
  • The attribution to Miltitz is probably the result of a confusion of this book's title with Miltitz' short story "Die zwölf Nächte" ('The Twelve Nights')
