Abstract

en_US A presentation of Additional 18579 and particularly its thirty-six paintings, from the hands of several artists, dated to about 1610. Quinnam (23) gives the year of publication of this book in a helpful bibliographical entry. Chapter VI (24-53) summarizes the stories of the fourteen books and comments on each of the colored plates, which are mounted on heavy, lined paper. The best of the illustrations for me are The Fox Crushed Between the Fighting Goats (VII); The Woman Killed by the Sneeze (VIII); Dimnah and the Ox (XI); The King, The Ape and the Thief (XXII); The Lion, the Unfaithful Wife and the Prince (XXV); The Old Woman, the Sick Daughter and the Cow (XXVI); and The Ravening Lion (XXX). The plates are listed on viii-ix. An unusual and lovely book. I will keep the Argosy and Morrison copies in the collection, the latter because of its lighter-colored cover with black lettering instead of the gold engraving of the other two copies.
