I think I have found a match: all the hints fit in well with Harun al-Rashid (763/766-809), Abassid Caliph #5.

Well done again!  My next clue would have been Goscinny, and after that Rushdie. But I was pretty sure my last answer (Middle East) and hint would do the trick.

The Disney clue made me think of Sindbad the Sailor indeed. I'll be back later with a new one.

When you pick a new one, you have to make a new post instead of editing your last, otherwise I’ll think that I’ve already read your post!   Did he die before 1900?

No, he did not die before 1800. A letter may consist of four hundred pages.
