Abstract

en_US
Here is a new star in the collection! The engravings on copper are lovely, if sometimes a little risque. This third volume of three covers the rest of Book 10 through the end of La Fontaine's fables. Among the best illustrations are The Shepherd and the King (8) and The Merchant, the Noble, the Shepherd, and the King's Son (24). Among the risqué illustrations here is The Companions of Ulysses (64). Still other illustrations include The Wolf and the Fox (42), The Sick Stag (76), The Eagle and the Magpie (88), The Gazelle, the Crow, the Turtle, and the Rat (102), and The Elephant and Jupiter's Monkey (114). There are some seven additional illustrations in La Poème du Quinquina and Le Songe de Vaux. Too bad that the book is somewhat undersized, about 4 x 6½. I am so happy to have found this little book! Strangely, it is not in Bodemann.
