Abstract
-
en_US
This is a singularly economical comprehensive large-format presentation of the first of the three Spanish incunabula derived from Steinhöwel's Ulm edition of 1476-77. The scholarly apparatus is helpful and impressive. T of C of the fables on 172. Then variants and emendations, and a glossary (where I learned that ystoriado means illustrated ). Appendix A includes tables matching this Esopete with Romulus and other early collections. B and C are motif indices, while D is a comprehensive fable index by words. Besides a final bibliography, there are included in a pocket inside the back cover microfiches of a computer-generated concordance. The front of the book offers a good history of the Life of Aesop and an accurate short overview of the history of the tales. The illustrations, generally from the 1489 Zaragosa edition, are always labelled. They seem to be close to Steinhöwel in motif and quality, as I think an examination of a sample like FG on 68 would show. Two illustrations from this 1488 edition are on xxxi-xxxii.
