Abstract

en_US This is a valuable reprint of one of the many books celebrating Aesop having fun. The frontispiece identifies Hunold as Menantes. The illustrations are only adequate. According to Bodemann, they are based upon Solis and Salomon. It is great to have them in the collection, even in a reproduction. Those leanings upon earlier great fable illustration conceptions are clear in the second fable: Fox and Goat. The illustration is excellent but also derivative. The French and German are presented in two columns on each page. There is a typical problem with the lion's face on 19 and again on 23. For each fable there is about a one-third page illustration above the two columns with their respective titles for the fables. Further French fables are inserted in open space or open pages after the two-column fables. The last of the fables -- XCV -- has an excellent illustration of the fox and wolf. It is followed, as Bodemann notes, by seven French fables without German translation or illustration. 276 pages. About 5 x 7.
