Abstract
-
en_US
Here is a new star in the collection! The engravings on copper are lovely, if sometimes a little risque. This first volume of three covers Books 1 through 5. I count sixteen illustrations here, as one might expect. Loveliest among them may be FC (58), CW (128), Rats and Weasels (186) and The Miser and His Treasure (216). On the risque side are FC, Man and His Image (65), The Thieves and the Ass (80), CW, FG (161), and The Lion in Love (176). Other fables illustrated here are The Pedant and the Swimmer (88), BC (100), The Bird Wounded with an Arrow (106), AD (116), MSA (136), The Eagle, Cat, and Boar (152), Philomela and Procne (164), and FM (196). 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.
