- Abstract
- en_US The original of this facsimile edition was done in Resia, Italy, in 1491. The facsimile was printed in a limited edition of only 300 copies in Jerusalem. I understand this book to be a rare Italian bibliophile edition of a collection of allegories, fables and puns with moral inferences all written in rhymed prose. A number of the small woodcuts look as though they may well be illustrating fables, as when the dog and the stag appear before the king lion, or when the donkey and bull confront each other on the facing page. Might that be FK pictured in one of two pictures in which we find a stork and a frog towards the end of the book? In the latter of the two, the stork is eating the frog!
