Abstract

en_US This second booklet of Heath's German series contains thirty fables on some 38 pages, with footnotes along the way and vocabulary exercises at the end based on sequential groups of fables. The pamphlet is done in Gothic script. The first and the last few fables seem to deviate from or move beyond traditional Aesopic material. Thus the first substitutes a lion for the ox in OF (1). The shepherd asks the nightingale to sing; she answers Do you not hear the loud frogs?! Yes, he answers, but ony because I do not hear you (35). The life of Aesop's play on the tongue as the best and worst of things becomes a fable here to the same effect (35). Two dogs pledge true friendship and even give each other their hand on the matter, until a piece of meat is thrown in front of the two of them (36). One ass serves as servant of the lion and goes with him through the forest. A fellow ass greets him as brother, only to hear back Get out of the way. I do not know you (38). After the fables there is a set of riddles (38-40). The two copies, both of which I will keep in the collection, treat the blue canvas cover's color for print differently. The good copy does print in aqua, while the extra copy does print in black.
