- Abstract
- en_US Bound with Cornelii Nepotis Vitae. Includes Perotti's Appendix and an AI. Every fable also has its own (unrelated) end-piece; perhaps the best of these shows two travelers approaching a city (50). The best feature of this beautiful volume may be the illustrations for Phaedrus' fables. I count twenty-two of them. Among the best are Canis Fidelis (29), Anus ad Amphoram (64), Aesopus Ludens (82), and De Significatione Poenarum Tartari (157). Carnes has a short listing for an 1838 edition by the same publisher. There seem to be several artists and engravers at work here, none acknowledged. This is a sturdy and well produced volume.
