- Abstract
- en_US This hardbound volume is unusual among the Gellert materials I have assembled. It presents only the first two books of Gellert's fables. The flyleaf explains In contrast with its historical exemplar, the present book contains only the texts of the first two collections, which appeared in 1746 and 1748. It seems that they present Gellert's narrative talent at its most impressive. This edition uses the illustrations by Meil, apparently from the Leipzig edition of 1763. If Meil illustrated all the fables there, as the flyleaf seems to indicate, not all of them are illustrated here. Among the best of these full-page illustrations are: Der Tanzbär (13); Inkle und Yariko (34); Der Selbstmord (43); Der erhörte Liebhaber (100); Der gütige Besuch (107); Der grüne Esel (129); and Der Polyhistor (299).
