Abstract
en_US This is a lovely old edition. Among its quaint features is that it is dated An VI to reflect the French revolution. It includes a life of Aesop covering 103 pages in twenty-seven chapters, with a rectangular illustration for each. It goes on then to 225 fables, each with a rectangular illustration about 2 x 3 and with two rhyming quatrains surrounding a prose narration. Are both from Benserade? For all 225 fables? Many also have a small tailpiece design. The fables finish on 454 and are followed by a T of C. I cannot find this work in Bodemann. It seems to fit between 113.2 and 113.3, but neither of those works contains as many pages or fables as this volume. The book is in good condition. I do not find the illustrations particularly strong. I enjoy the literal detail in the laborer's action of tying a torch to the fox's tail on 374. Watch the two men in one of my favorite fables, which puts an avaricious and an envious man together in the temple (418).
