Abstract

en_US
Here is a gorgeous pair of books! They were my first find in Mannheim on this visit. Fables make up a small portion of the work. One way to locate them is to work from the chronology before the all-too-brief T of C at the end of the second volume. Other things around the fables are exciting, especially as they are highlighted by the foldout illustrations. Notice these in particular: the portrait of Hans Sachs (xii); types of work (77-83); Der Bürgertanz (140-42); Die Ehbrecherbruck (146-7); Der Bauer mit dem bodenlosen Sack (234-8); Der Nasentanz (267-8); Der Narrenfresser (287-92); and Summa all meiner Gedicht (299-307). Fables include Der untreu Frosch (100-101); Der Aff mit der Schildkröten (102-5); Fabel der Löwin mit ihren Jungen (106-7); Der krank Esel (108); Fabel des Esels mit der Löwenhaut (109-10 with a glorious illustration); Der Krug mit dem Wetter (111-12); Der Fuchs mit dem Storchgast (113-14); Der karg Wolf (115-16); Fabel von Neidigen und Geizigen 117-19 with another fine illustration); and Der Fuchs mit dem Hahn (120-21). Der Krug mit dem Wetter is new to me. The pitcher is proud to be what it is as it sits outside to dry out after being fashioned. The weather asks him what he is and he answers proudly that he is a pitcher. The weather answers but you will be mud and goes to work. The moral ends with a great proverb: Poor people's court courtesy and calf excrement both soon smell bad! Apparently these two volumes are a reprinting of something done by Insel in 1923-24, copies of which are around various American university libraries. I have one huge question that my researches have not answered: Who created these woodcuts in the first place?
