Abstract

en_US What a lovely gift from the author! Michel Pastoureau's preface gives the context perfectly for this book, placing its sixteen fables in their literary and historical context. Mordeglia also situates them and then offers their Latin and Greek texts. In a later section, she offers a good comment on each of the sixteen. I checked the first fable, and she caught the substitution, for example, of "ad" for "at" and explained it accurately. I had made this substitution myself as I read the Latin, but I was aware that I come from classical, not medieval Latin. A helpful feature of the text segment is that the Latin is given not only as it appears, line by line, in the manuscript, including all the abbreviations made in texts like these. Mordeglia also presents a full Latin transcription as we are used to reading texts. This book makes me look forward to the next time I can dive into the text history of the fables. Thank you, Caterina!
