- Abstract
- en_US A beautiful book that I look forward to using extensively as we do Babrius this semester. The spine is leather, the endpapers are marbled, and the page-tops are gilt. One of the two biggest assets to me will probably turn out to be the short notes beneath each translation; I have already learned that ancient horses regularly carried no loads on their back; this knowledge helps one to understand the situation in The Ass and the Horse. The other asset lies in the comments and lists here. Some eighty-eight pages before Babrius' text introduce the history and sources of the fable genre. The tables at the back trace the sources of LaFontaine. Ex libris Joseph M. Gleason. The book's binding has an LC number inscribed into it.
