Abstract
-
en_US
This is a fascinating book much of whose treasure is beyond me. What I find before me includes 94 texts many of which are recognizable old German versions of Aesopic fables. The curiosities about the book begin with a book that, if one did not check the cover, never reveals its author. Bodmer on the cover and on the spine is all that we get. The next curiosity is that a bit of checking on the web regularly brings up Ulrich Boner's name along with Bodmer's as the author of this book. Is some of what we find in the book identical with Boner? The first text is indeed about the ape and the nuts, the second about a hunter and tiger, the third about a frog and mouse. Comparison with what we find in Der Edelstein would be revealing. This small (about 4 x 6) book itself is very nicely produced. I find it a real triumph of old DDR printing and bookbinding.
