- Abstract
- en_US Here is the latest in the impressive history of publications on fables by "Les Belles Lettres." To understand the volume's reason for existence, it is good to go straight to xxiii, where we see the five elements here brought together: (1) fables in ancient Greek and Latin texts "in context." This section turns out to contain 29 fables, including famous occurrences like Horace's TMCM and Menenius Agrippa's BM. (2) Chambry's translation of his 358 fables, helpfully footnoted to correspond to Perry's numbering system. (3) Phaedrus, translated by Jacqueline Sauzeau. (4) Babrius, translated by Pierre Sauzeau. I take it that the latter two sections are newly translated. (5) Avianus, translated by Jacqueline Gaide, with the translations taken from her 1980 "Les Belles Lettres" edition. This is a worthy tome of some 409 pages, with a detailed T of C at the end. I am only a little surprised that there is not a corresponding large edition offering the original texts as well.
