Abstract

en_US The title-page continues Nach des Verfassers Wunsche gesammelt und herausgegeben von M. Samuel Gottlob Frisch. This fragile work with severed paper cover has five books, only the last of which includes Fabeln. That sections runs from 173 through 239. Weisse knew Gellert and Lessing as fellow students. According to German Wikopedia, Weiße zählt zu den bedeutenden Vertretern der Aufklärung und gilt als Begründer der deutschen Kinder- und Jugendliteratur. Among other accomplishments, he founded a magazine for children. He died in 1804. I tried several fables out. Der Arme Schuster (189) seems straight out of La Fontaine. Der Affe und der Stier (196) follows a familiar pattern: bother the mighty once or twice and you might get away lucky. Try it a third time, and you become the victim of your own stupidity! Die Katze und die Tauben (199) is a reworking of a familiar theme: the cat is a good friend to the birds until one day she gets to lick a bit of blood. The one copper engraving promised on the title-page seems to be missing. Most of the pages are uncut. Four pages of the beginning T of C have landed at the end of the book.
