Abstract

en_US The unassuming present-day green cloth cover hides a lovely book here! I have known Herold as publisher of the 1750 editions of Carl Mouton, including Esope en belle humeur. This volume has the same compact size, the same lack of margins, and the same preference for red ink on the title-page. This is Bodemann #118.1. What this volume lacks -- as the bookdealer noted -- is its one illustration, the copper engraved frontispiece. It is illustrated in Bodemann at #118.1. An explanation of the frontispiece is in fact the first element in the book. Bodemann's entry gives a good sense of the book: 150 Versfabeln, in den Motiven teilweise auf aesopisches Traditionsgut zurückgehend, dazu zahlreiche neu erfundene Fabeln zumeist mit dinglichen Protagonisten, was gemäss der Absicht des Dichters grosse Verwunderung und damit Aufmerksamkeit beim Leser hervorruft. Am Ende jeder Fabel eine manchmal als Sprichwort formulierte Lehre. With dinglichen Protagonisten Bodemann refers, I believe, to such subjects as diamonds, magnets, books, flame, and smoke. Triller sometimes gives a source for his numbered fables. I tried several and found them quite traditional, if perhaps a bit simple. Das Kind und der Frosch (222) teaches that a frog wants the swamp: Art lässet nimmermehr von Art. Das Rohr und die Eiche (223-4) leads up to a sudden change of fortune. Was sich nicht biegen lässt, muss brechen. There are two Registers at the end, one alphabetical by first subject and the other alphabetical by beginning of the Sittenlehre. 335 pages.
