Abstract

en_US As I looked through this book, with its cover image of the fox laughing above the wolf in the well, I quickly felt some déjà vu. Sure enough, I checked. It is, as far as I can tell, absolutely identical interiorly to another book just catalogued for the collection. Might the publisher have changed? I do not think so. What has changed? The front and back covers. The back cover now has extensive prose. The front cover of the former -- and earlier? -- copy features a fox walking away from a tree. I guessed a date of 1980 for that publication. As I wrote there, it is a curious book of 200 pages with an extensive T of C at its beginning. The illustrations -- mostly line drawings but a few wood engravings -- make clear that many of these fables are traditional Aesopic fables. Most stories are two pages long, in verse with a moral. GoogleTranslate gets phrases but has trouble putting together this verse in a way that makes sense. A good sample illustration is FC on 31. The editor is kind enough to offer Arabic numerals as well as Hebrew for pagination.
