Abstract

en_US
Here is the folder containing the reproduced facsimile sheets of Luther's letters and fables in Codex Ottobonianus Latinus 3029. It has the attestation of Prof. Dr. Alfons M. Stickler, Prefect of the Biblioteca Apostolica Vaticana. The codex is described as Entstanden in der 1. Hälfte des 16. Jahrhunderts. The two sets of fables in Luther's hand are bookended by a set of his letters beforehand and some Latin materials I do not recognize afterwards; I presume that they are further letters. The two sets of fables in Luther's own hand are, in the language of the accompanying Kommentarband, Der Entwurf and Die Reinschrift. The former is full of additions, corrections, and crossouts. True enough, there are no corrections that I notice in Die Reinschrift. This is the clean copy Luther himself prepared, with an epimythial vice above each fable. Torheit, Hass, and Untrew are the first three. As I mentioned of the accompanying volume of commentary, I had read of this edition many times when I first started consciously collecting fables, but it was then prohibitively expensive. I was surprised to find this one copy after a rather exhaustive web search. The fables Luther presents are these: CJ, WL, FM, Vom hund vnd schaff, DS, LS, LS again, FG, Vom diebe, WC, Vom hund vnd der hundin, Von D Mogenhofer, Vom Esel vnd lewen, and TMCM. There are several page-numbering orders imposed by various owners of the sheets over the centuries. The story of how this codex got into the Vatican Library is fascinating and incomplete!
