- Abstract
- en_US This is a curious book. If one is to judge from the bibliography facing the title-page, Ostwald, the editor of Der Neue Eulenspiegel, wrote humorous books. This book is no exception. Some 367 pages are chock full of animal stories. The T of C at the back may not help a great deal to understand their organization. And so I am not surprised when the last chapter is titled Allerlei Durcheinander, roughly All sorts of stuff mixed up together. There are several fables in the first section, Mensch und Tierwelt. Notice TB on 14, DW on 15, and a lovely rhymed verse version of MSA on 16-17 from Eucharius Eyring (1520-1597). Most of the material here seems to me to be chreiai, humorous incidents. I am happy to encounter the item on 30, titled Warum die Ochsen gegen den Fortschritt sind. When Pythagoras came up with his Eureka! he sacrificed one hundred bulls. Since then bulls get nervous whenever a new truth comes to light! I trust that there are more fables scattered in this long book. Seek and you shall find!
