- Abstract
- en_US There is much that is familiar here in the first two books, since so much of them comes into Kalila and Dimna. The third book is Der Krieg der Krähen und der Eulen, the fourth Der Verlust von schon Besessenem, and the fifth Handeln ohne sorgfältige Prüfung. The illustrations are done in a style recalling Indian art. Several in the first two books would be helpful in a course handling Kalila and Dimna. My favorite is the attack on the camel by the threee evil counselors on 58. The geese actually tie the tortoise to the stick for TT on 61. The illustration makes me want to read Der Zimmermann und sein treuloses Weib (160). The age-old story of a worthy groom for the bride mouse appears here in the third book (163). Der Esel als Sänger (213) is another fine piece of illustration work. Material at the end of the book includes several pieces from Greither: on previous illustrated editions of the Panchatantra; on Scharl; on Theodor Benfey (upon whose 1859 translation Greither bases his own); and on secondary literature. This is a very well made book from the DDR, and I have not seen many of those!
