Abstract

en_US One of the gems of this collection. Undersized and fragile. Bilingual in columns of Greek and Latin for its first few sections: definitions of fable by Aphthonius and Philostratos; life of Aesop; and 150 fables (beginning on 119). Then several sections are bilingual on facing pages: 43 fables of Gabrius; the Battle of Mice and Frogs; the Battle of Cats and Mice. The last section has just Latin: 42 fables by Avienus. There are many wonderful small illustrations with the 150 fables, some of them marked with ink or color. The best of the illustrations:The Fox and the Goat (125),The Cat and the Mice (154),The Ass and the Horse (194),The Eagle and the Turtle (198),The Ethiopian (212),The Mistress and the Two Servants (215),The Man and the Satyr (260), WC (281). There is also a great hand-drawn ink cartoon (of some teacher?) on 299. There are bookplates from two prior owners. See the attached title-page and index-card xerox from the Leighton library.
