Abstract

en_US
Bodemann 77.12. Here is the third volume in the set, duplicating the book found nineteen years ago. In keeping with prior practice I will include both books, the one found alone and this one found in a set. This volume covers Books X-XII. Though this work copies Chauveau, I find these illustrations often more distinct and dramatic. At 3" x 2½", they are also often larger than Chauveau's original work. As in the first volume, each illustration includes both the page and the number of the fable in its book. There is a T of C for this volume at the beginning and an AI for all three volumes at the end. A good typical instance of the work here might be the illustration for "Le Cerf Malade" (XII 6, 113). The characters and the problem are clearly presented. Other good illustrations include "Le Renard, les Mouches, & le Hérisson" (XII 13, 140) and "Le Renard, le Loup, & le Cheval" (XII 17, 156). T of C, 261 pages, "Approbation," "Privilege du Roy," AI, and "Fautes à corriger." Previous owners inscribed the book in 1740 and 1833.
