- Abstract
- en_US See my 1959 reprint of the 1876 edition for extensive comments. Comparison of the two editions might be instructive. This first volume contains eighty stories. T of C. Long set of notes on 281-388. Strongly Aesopic: Do Not Drive Away the Flies (#51); The Blind and the Lame (#71); The Donkey and the Lapdog (#79). #28 has appeared among Aesopic tales. 311-34 are a long excursus (apropos of Ch. XV on St. Alexis) on the converted life of St. Ignatius of Loyola, which makes him out to be a calculating and cynical politician.
