Abstract

en_US This is a beautifully produced book which I look forward to working with as I learn more about Julien Macho's role in bringing Steinhöwel's edition to people like Caxton. The initials are in red, as are several of the beautiful woodcuts. The woodcuts are not as beautiful, I believe, as those of Steinhöwel, from which they were copied. They are far superior to Caxton's. The edition seems to follow Julien's structure (and Steinhöwel's, therefore) exactly. Perhaps half of the fables here are illustrated. The title-page has this delightful continuation of the title: Que toutes personnes que ce livre vouldront lire pourront apprendre et entendre par ces fables a eulx bien gouverner. Car chescune fable donne son enseignement.
