Abstract

en_US Here is a strange print-upon-demand publication. As it is, it includes 12 plus 12 pages. I use that strange formulation because the original booklet as it is photocopied here seems to be 12 pages long. It includes an 1827 title-page, a frontispiece illustration of a giraffe, a four-page introduction, three fables of 2, 2, and 1 pages, a Latin translation of the first of these three fables, and a page of advertising for two fable publications. Then, to a reader's surprise, there are twelve pages of an apparently utterly different book, "Revue de l'histoire des religions," beginning with its Page 12. Does no one look at these print-upon-demand publications after a machine has garbled them up? Speculation on the confluence of giraffes and fables would be fascinating, but I will let it go for now.
