Abstract
-
en_US
A good text, well placed and edited, of a Florence manuscript which includes forty-six fables and is an Italian derivative of Marie de France. (Other Italian fable manuscripts were based principally on Walter of England, as was the work of Francesco del Tuppo, published in 1485.) Good tables, e.g. of the Walter and the Marie manuscript-family correspondences. The Cuckoo fable (here II 21) marks off Marie de France and her Italian derivatives and seems to exist only in this group. There are good notes on individual fables starting on 179 and then a vita of Brush after 186. Originally (?) sold at G.E. Stechert & Co. (Alfred Hafner) in NY. The first few pages of this old book have just come loose. A pity! It almost made it intact to its hundredth birthday!
