Abstract

en_US I had thought that this large book was a second copy of another, also listed under 1810, which I had found at William Hale's in 1991. It turns out on closer examination to be indeed a much fuller book. This book brings two things that are not in the other volume. I find only the second signaled on the title-page, when it expands the phrase Notis Exornatae to Latina Versione Notisque Exornatae. The first discrepancy comes after XL when this volume goes on through another 210 pages of Roman numerals before beginning Aisopou Mythoi on 1. Included in this intervening material are: Ioa. Albert Fabricius De Aesopo et aliis Fabularum Scriptoribus (XLI-CXXXVI); Rich. Bentleii Dissertatio de Fabulis Aesopi (CXXXVII-CLII); Thomae Tyrwhitt Dissertatio de Babrio (CLIII-CCIII); and Immanuel. G. Huschkii Dissertatio de Fabulis Archilochi (CCIV-CCL). After the Aesopou Mythoi section of 423 Greek texts, Fabulae Aesopicae follows here but not there. This section, with its own pagination from 1 to 180, seems to be a straight Latin translation of the Greek fables in the Aisopou Mythoi section above. At that point the volumes join again (both starting with fresh pagination 1-98) for Notae ad Fabulas Aesopicas, a commentary on the Greek fables. Then, as I note in my comments on the other volume, there are indices of authors who mention Aesop, of authors who cite fables, of subjects mentioned, and of fables, respectively. There is a Greek dictionary. After Corrigenda et addenda, there are advertisements. The frontispiece engraving shows a woman holding a mirror seated on a sphinx, a child holding a mask, and a fox with a mask. The covers are bowed, but the interior is in good condition.
