- Abstract
- en_US This is one of the physically heaviest books in the collection! 7" x 10⅜" with 958 pages + 30. Each fable starts a new pair of pages with French on the left facing Catalan on the right. I spent several days in Barcelona seeking books in Catalan. Now six months later, I find this one! There is a frontispiece besides the twelve "designs" before the twelve books. I would call these surrealist. Most engaging for me are the portrait of the Marquise de Montespon (VII), Hecuba (X), and the two faces framing a horseback rider in XI. Notes begin on 939 and an index of proper names on 949, followed by an AI and a T of C. A tome!
