Abstract

en_US
Around 1270 Gerhard wrote one-hundred-twenty-five fables that were (among?) the first middle Low German fables. They seem to be known best as the Wolfenbüttler Aesop since it is in Wolfenbüttle that a paper manuscript of them from the 1400's is preserved. Those fables are here on 3-199 with comments immediately following on 203-293. One typical feature of Gerhard's verse fables is the four-line moral at the end of each. I used this edition for comparison with Steinhöwel's Romulus versions. Helpful translations of three of Gerhard's fables can be found in Becker. It is clear there, for example, that CP is for Gerhard a matter of the conquest of knowing over strength. The present book is another example of excellent German contributions around the turn of the century by making early fable texts available. Olms' reprinting extends the benefit.
