Abstract

en_US I was surprised upon examination of this book to find that it reproduced the Remondini of 1757 that I had found nine months earlier in Turin. Both the title-page wording and the T of C wording are exactly the same, though in neither case are the plates the same. The life of Aesop that started on 5 there starts on 7 here, but, with more text compacted on the page, finishes by 47. The same elements follow here as there, and the fables start on 54. As in that book, there are 76 illustrations. These seem to be done after and according to those there; that is, they are redrawn copies. See my comments there. The woodcuts are less attractive, lighter, and less well defined here. Let me list the same items I chose there with their new page numbers: Ass and Horse (67), The Man Who Found an Axe on the Road (91), The Shepherd Up a Tree Whose Cloak Is Eaten Beneath Him (111), WC (119), and The Fox and the Hunters (196). The lion on 160 is even more outrageously non-leonine than he was in the earlier edition! I have the same problem here as there, that I cannot discover the last two sets of items referred to in the T of C. This book finishes its texts on 254, where that one finished on 279. Old vellum. Pastedown endsheets wormed. AI at the end. Bodemann does not seem to list Occhi.
