Abstract

en_US This book not only reproduces one of my favorites, Jason Carter's Medieval Fables: Marie de France, published by Dragon's World, Ltd. It adds about 75% more fables -- but, alas, no more Carter illustrations. The pattern seems clear. A fable is illustrated with a facing Carter illustration, as in the Dragon's World edition. Then follow two pages of pure text, either one or two fables. Then there is another fable with a facing Carter illustrtation. As a result, this book has 159 pages, where the earlier edition had 71. The book is also something of an international triumph. As the verso of the title-page notes, its texts were first published in Germany -- Halle, to be specific -- in 1898 as a critical edition of a French original, the Ysopet. Those texts were reprinted in Geneva by Slatkine in 1974. Carter published them with his illustrations for the British publisher Dragon's World; the book's copies then were printed in Hong Kong. Now this edition is done by Grupo Anaya in Madrid. And this copy was distributred by REI in Mexico. Whew! In a moment of leisure, I hope to probe how faithful these texts are to the Ysopet. As I wrote then, this book offers lovely, lavish illustrations--with a touch of influence from India--well worth including in a lecture, especially DS, TMCM, and The Stag.
