Abstract

en_US This item replicates another item already in the collection, but I include it separately because of the different presentation. The cover is of course different, but so is the page size. Apparently the bookbinder here cut the generous margins from the pages he received. As with the first copy, I will quote the helpful description Pack Carnes gives of this, item 339 in his Phaedrus bibliography. This is the celebrated ‘Biponti’ society edition of Phaedrus, based upon the edition of Johann Albert Fabricius (1621-1736) as edited by Johann August Ernesti (1707-1781), ultimately based upon the Pieter Burman (1668-1741) recension, with notes by Gude and with fables added from the Romulus, the Niccolò Perotti (1430-1480) appendix and others, as well as the Avianus and ‘Anonymous’ (i.e., ‘Anonymous Neveleti’) fables mentioned. Also contains the ‘Vita Phaedri a Jo. Scheffero composita’ (pp. iii-xii), by Johannes Scheffer (1621-1679), and the ‘Notitia literaria de Phaedro ex Jo. Alb. Fabricii Bibliotheca Latina’ by the editor Ernesti (pp. xiii-lii), and De Anonymus vetere fabularum auctore..., latin. ed Ernesti’ also by the editor. Biponti (Zweibrücken) is a town near Sarbrücken. There is one strange illustration, a frontispiece combining several animals and a human face.
