- Abstract
- en_US This is Volume 5 of 6 volumes, 3¾" x 5¾", comprising Books IX through XI. There is nothing here beyond the fables except the epilogue at the end of Book XI. The illustrations are numbered #184 through #235. Among those I find strongest are particularly "The Husband, the Wife, and the Thief" (34) and the two illustrations for "The Treasure and the Two Men" (36). Another strong illustration is "The Old Man and the Three Youths" (107). Most illustrators picture the young men with the man planting trees. Here the artist has the old man writing their marble memorial underneath the grown trees. The seller notes the beauty of the binding with comments I quote under the first volume of the six. We already have a copy of this fifth volume, found in December of 2011.
