Abstract

en_US "In 23 Fabeln und illuminierten Kupfern." This book first appeared in 1806. Campe was a leading Enlightenment teacher and preacher. The fables themselves range from clever stories to something more like Speckter and Hey, as when (14) the daughter wants to go with the son to school, where, as he says, he learns "nothing but fine things." Apparently these fables were conceived to bring together two agents whose names begin with the same letter, as Ackermann and Affe, Eule and Esel. "Der Fuchs und das Fledermäuschen" (20) seems to me typical. Clever fox invites bat to come closer. Bat responds that its mother taught it not to believe flatterers. "But I am not such." "Okay, I trust you." End of story: fox eats bat. The fable on 30 surprises me. Lamb and lion meet. Lion challenges lamb to defend itself. Lamb answers that its only defense is innocence. "I will suffer if innocence cannot protect me." Lion is touched by the response and lets the lamb go. The colored pictures are excellent, accompanied as they are by other objects whose names begin with the appropriate letter of the alphabet. Why 23? No "I" and no "V" and no "X" and no "Y." There are, however, two different "S" sounds, both "S" and "Sch."
