- Abstract
- en_US I bought this pair of volumes because we had separate volumes that did not exactly meet Bodemann's description for #238 or Bassy #33. The page size of this first of two volumes was too large for 13cm x 8 cm, and the description called for 36 titled full-page illustrations. I presumed these volumes would fill that gap. Maybe they do and maybe they do not! The page size is correct. However, while our original volume had only four illustrations besides the frontispiece portrait, this volume has only three and the frontispiece! The fourth from that other comes now as the frontispiece to the second half of the work. Furthermore, these illustrations are not titled. As I wrote there, these illustrations are FC (69); FS (97); and "Wolf, Goat, and Kid" (Vol, II, 35). As there, so here this book includes Volumes I and II, encompassing Books I-VII of the fables, with the exact same page count in both volumes as in Bodemann's account. Might Nepveu have published several versions of the same book at the same time?
