Abstract

en_US There are three sections here, before four satires and notes (211) on both volumes. Beware: Volume the Second is placed by mistake in the midst of notes on the first volume (233). New to me in the first section, a continuation of sixty-seven Greek and Latin fables (attributed to Aesop?): XIII, XX, XXV, XXXVI, XLVII, LI, and LXI. Here dogs, not apes, have their show disrupted with food (47). Many fables here are most familiar to me from LaFontaine. A second section contains fourteen fables of LaFontaine. The third section includes sixty-one Latin, French, Italian, German, and original Boothby fables. Especially noteworthy among them are V, VI, VIII, X (a la Iriarte), XIII, XX, and XLVI. T of C on v.
