Abstract

en_US Purchasing this book was a mistake. It is not a fable book at all, but rather the second part of a two-part compendium of mythology. It comprises the seventh through twelfth conversations giving the stories behind major mythological figures of the ancient western world. Pages 1-11 are a T of C in narrative form, giving an overview of the six chapters. There are five illustrations. The sculptor for all five is P. Velyn, while the ingraver is J. Smies. The title-page presents two figures pictured before the temple of truth. In a fable book, those would have been Truth and Fable. Might that be the identification here too? Facing 21 is an illustration of Flora, Pomona and Vertumnus. Facing 154 is the most accessible illustration for us, the judgment of Paris. Facing 173 is De Dood Zoo als de Ouden die Voorstelden. Facing 215 is an illustration of Penelope that involves a chariot. I do not recognize the scene, and the title is little help: Penelope Haren Vader Verlatende om Haren Man te Volgen. Having this book in the collection will keep me from buying it again! There is an AI of mythological personages at the back.
