- Abstract
- en_US Here is a case where I ordered the same book twice because I had not catalogued it promptly. The error allows me to keep a work copy of this handy paperback in Berkeley. It is handy because it gives two Greek versions and two French translations of each of the 126 Babrian texts. The first version is the usual Greek verse of Babrius with its prose French translation. Then follows a phrase by phrase Greek sense-line version, with the complementing French. In the latter translation, supplementary words are italicized and explanatory comments are put into parentheses. This should be a helpful book for resolving--or at least locating well--some translation issues in Babrius. I wonder how many Greek authors were included in this series by Hachette. Elibron Classics, identified at www.elibron.com as a Boston company, presents here a photographic replica of the original book. It is so completely a replica that one searches in vain, even on the website, to find the date of its publication!
