Abstract

en_US
This book is in the same series as my 1939 edition, Fábulas de Tomas de Iriarte. According to Wikipedia, Miguel Agustin Principe wrote Fábulas en verso castellano in 1861-1862. I must admit that I have not heard of him before. My first surprise in looking at this book is the volume of fables that Principe composed. I count 146 fables in the T of C at the book's end. Few of them seem borrowings from traditional fables. One of those few is El Invidioso y el Avaro on 51, and Principe here credits Avianus. Finding this book alerts me, of course, that there are five others books in this fable series. They will not be easy to find! Maybe a good sample fable from Principe is the one pictured at the center of the cover's illustration: El Gato Cortándose las Uñas (18). After child rat sees a cat clipping its nails, mother rat has to instruct her: the more the cat's nails are cut, the more they grow! As in the Iriarte volume, each fable inside has one black-and-white illustration, often involving silhouettes. As I mention there, it is unusual to get a book of fables from this corner of the world at this time! Alas, this book has been in someone's musty basement for some time!
