- Abstract
- en_US Here is an impressive book of fables! Congratulations to Gert-Jan and his colleagues for a job well done! Van Dolen's foreword recognizes the thirty-two pages of illustrations taken from the so-called Medici Aesop. They are presented in two sections: 49-64 and 97-112. A line at the bottom of the page of each illustration nicely gives its subject and the most appropriate fable. The illustration on 97 gives rise to the man transformed into an ant whose image we find on this book's front cover. Gert-Jan's afterword seems to cover the genre well. I would love to hear him do a summary like this in English! My hat is off to the translator, since he takes on no less than 182 fables here. The beginning T of C seems to show an alphabetical structure for the stories, which are clearly moralized. They in their turn have references to the appropriate illustrations. This is a well conceived and well constructed book!
