Abstract

en_US
This is a fascinating book produced by the same publisher in the same year as two other similar books. One of those, found at Ideal Book Store in New York, is a much larger edition based on 423 Greek fable texts. This edition, for example, offers some 240 pages before presenting the fables themselves. The other edition, with the same title, found at William Hale in Georgetown, is a shorter scholarly version and is more comparable to the present version. Now this third version, with a different title, seems a textbook for students with just the elements that can help students. The "Praefatio" by Schneider is two pages in length, where the Hale version has 40 pages of prolegomena. Schneider's next segment is identical with the Hale version in the identically paginated (3-172) section of fables. The "Notae Criticae" following the fables are 54 pages long, rather than the 98 pages of "Notae ad Fabulas Aesopicas." The AI is the same, and the "Index Graecitatis" is slimmed down to 41 pages from the other book's 54 pages. This Schneider copy lacks the image on its title-page and two indices, of authors who mention Aesop and of "rerum notabilium." This copy, given me by the Jesuit Community in downtown Barcelona, is right to mention Schneider, who framed the book "in usum scholarum." My favorite private collector reports that this edition -- including all three forms? -- was more complete than any that had preceded, though it apparently had an 1809 predecessor in Florence.
