Abstract

en_US Perhaps due to some pandemic confusion, we have two copies of this marvelous book. Here is the earlier copy, catalogued well after the later copy. This copy lacks the frontispiece, has a sturdier cover, and is in slightly less good condition than our other copy, especially due to some foxing. However, other than the missing frontispiece, this copy seems to be complete. It thus makes a great companion to the other copy with its missing pages. As I wrote of the copy acquired in 2020, I have long wanted to add this book to the collection because of the 1666 Barlow that we already have. It is not clear to me if the plates used here were by Barlow or after his 1666 originals. In any case, the illustrations are again thrilling! They now include those for the life of Aesop, not in the 1666 edition but in that of 1687. Page 121 is here, as there, incorrectly numbered 221. 8" x 9.5". This book is another treasure!
