Abstract

Bodemann #88.6 and Fabula Docet #44. I am so lucky to have found this little (3½ x 6) book! Kißner represents the beginning of the bilingual Esope en belle humeur tradition, which will include my 1750 Christian Herold edition. The red and black title pages (one in French and one in German, separated by the frontispiece) are striking. After a preface and a vita with its own following T of C, the main sections here start with a basic Aesopic section of 99 Fables Diverses or Unterschiedliche Fabeln, each offered in French and German columns with an excellent illustration. The attachments or appendices to individual fables in this section are printed only in French. This section is followed by one of 59 fables of Phaedrus and Philelphus, again in two columns, though without illustration. The following section offers 26 fables of de la Motte, with the two versions given on facing pages rather than in two columns. There are three T of C's at the end, corresponding to the sections of Aesop, Phaedrus, and de la Motte. Several sections reported in Bodemann #88.6 seem to be lacking here, as they are in the Wolfenbüttel exemplar they report on, namely Les Devoirs de l'honnete Homme and fables des Grands et des Petits (59 fables after Bidpai). Are we to assume that Philelphus is Pilpai? See also Die Bilderwelt im Kinderbuch, 14, 58, for a reference. Full new leather.
