Abstract

en_US
In 2006 in Münster I found Jauffret's "Fables Nouvelles: Two Volumes," which includes some 442 fables in fifteen books. I mentioned there an earlier edition of 1814 or 1815 that was published by Maradan and printed by Didot l'ainé and contained only ten books. Here it is, in two volumes! This edition has, as Bodemann points out, six illustrations, three per volume. Those illustrations appear here at 37 ("The Child and the Ray of Light"); 87 ("The Man and the Apes"); and 172 (""The Moor and His Two Sons"). Jauffret's very first fable presents a crow who would love to turn white and sing like the swan. He tries plunging into water. No luck! Let us yield to who we are. Art can sometimes correct nature but never change it. Five books per volume. The covers are either detached or very loose. My, what one finds – and for what prices! – on eBay! 4" x 6¾".
