Abstract

en_US The brochure advertising the facsimile edition of Steinhöwel's Aesopus: Vita et Fabulae Ulm 1476 from Edition Libri Illustri Verlag mentioned a 16-page set of documentation available for DM 75. Here it is! Contents include a two-sided loose sample page (Book III, Fable XI, The Father and Wild Son and the beginning of De Thaide et iuvene); a black-and-white rendition of the title-page woodcut of Aesop surrounded by the symbols of his life; a letter from Peter Teicher, the publisher, describing the original copy worked from and the overall project; sections on the history of fable, Aesop's fables, Aesop, Heinrich Steinhöwel, Johannes Zainer, Ulm, the Ulm Woodcutter, Otto Schäfer's private collection, and facsimile-creation with the most modern technology. A window-page follows with five rectangles cut open for viewing of the next page. Each of these quandrangles highlights a feature of the publication: the Latin title; all damaged portions, bruised, and marks faithfully represented; the woodcuts faithfully reproduced; frequent initials; and the readable type that Steinhöwel used. The inside of the back cover is then what we have been viewing through these windows, in this case Fable XII of Book Four, featuring The Lion and the Foxes. The cover's illustration is the signature illustration for this whole project, the lovely image from Fable XVI of Book II, The Fly and the Mule.
