Abstract

en_US
Bodemann #213.1 describes the book well. Xiv and 248 pages. Eighty fables divided into four books, with notes at the end of each book. There is an ornate frontispiece as well as an engraving of a pelican feeding her young on the title-page. Of the eight illustrations, three seem to be missing. Those I can find here are on 3, 63, 107, 138, and 158. One is clearly lost facing 88. Shapiro in The Fabulists French mentions Le Bailly as one of the fabulists he chooses not to include (xiv). I tried a couple of short fables. The willow asks the bramble what advantage she believes she will gain from hanging on to people. None. I just want to tear them (8). An ass challenges a horse to a race and loses terribly. A thorn wounded me during the run; that caused my loss. Amour-propre always finds an excuse (77). After a brutal war, the animals have declared peace. The wolf urges the hedgehog to get rid of his quills. Sure, when you get rid of your teeth (96).
