- Abstract
- Bodemann #544.1 calls attention to the single etching by Quadflieg between the title page and the T of C. It gathers many of the animals appearing in Hagedorn's twenty-five fables here and makes of them a border around the poet who is pictured before a background of a city waterfront marked by church towers. While I may be missing something in Hagedorn's rhyming German verse, the fables I sampled here seem to be true to their Aesopic originals. Some of those I sampled include "Jupiter und die Schnecke" (10); "Das Hühnchen und der Diamant"; ""Die Eulen"; "Der Bauer und die Schlange"; GA; and UP. Maybe the most concise and pointed is the four line fable: "A marten ate the woodgrouse; a fox ate the marten and a wolf the fox. Reader, these three prove that the bigger feed themselves on the blood of the smaller" (22). An advertisement is laid in the book, advertising Raamin-Presse books produced by Quadflieg. The promise there is that these books are always in numbered series of 200 copies. This text, not mentioned as part of that series, has a production total of 300 copies. I feel lucky to have found it!
