Abstract
-
en_US
Here is one of the strangest finds during a very productive weekend in Paris. In fact, Picard was my first stop, and this book was published by Picard 110 years ago! I had not known that Fénélon had translated La Fontaine into Latin. That was the first surprise. Then I had no idea that someone had written a dissertation -- for that is what I presume that this work is -- on this abstruse topic. Notice the affidavits of the Rector and Dean of the University of Paris on 159. The work seems to cover only the first seven books of La Fontaine's twelve. It is engaging to see old French friends here show up in Latin! Vulpes et Uvae. Musca et Formica. Questor et Sutor. The book has an introduction and all the scholarly appendages, including four interpaginated photographs of manuscripts (e.g., 136-37) and four pages of errata (!) at the end. Most of the pages remain uncut.
