Abstract

en_US
This is a straightforward, tight, good looking book of eighty pages, 4 x 7, presenting 144 Latin fables. It is inscribed by W. Thackwray Shaw in 1866. There is also a notation Don Shaw 12.02 on the obverse of the title-page. A little web research has brought up some unsuspected aspects to this book. One bibliographical service in Australia finds a version in Latin and Greek by E.P. Williams in Eton in 1867. That book has the same title as the first two words of the title here. Its page notation seems to indicate that it has two sections, one of 101 pages and one of 81 pages. Could that book simply combine a Greek section of 101 pages with this Latin section? Google Books finds a version of Aesopi Fabulae by Williams in 1865 but has it containing 101 pages. That sounds like the possible Greek section of the Australian reference. WorldCat has an M. Pote and E. Williams publishing Aesopi fabulae Graeco-Latinae in 1807 and again, without reference to Pote, in 1859. It looks as though the family of this little book got around!
