Abstract
-
en_US
Contains a wealth of good things, including the life of Phaedrus by Scheffer (v-xiv), an 'Indiculus editionum Phaedri' (xxxiv-xxxvii), the 1747 edition of Avianus: 'Flavii Aviani Fabularum Aesopiarum, liber unicus', (149-204), and the Sententiae of Seneca and Publilius Syrus. First published both by Barbou and by Grangé in 1748. Carnes notes this 1754 reprint, but says it has 395 pages, whereas this book, like the original he describes, has only 305 after the initial xlviii. At 147-8 there is a leaf lacking; in this copy is pencilleda blank leaf taken out. Carnes mentions a title-page for Avianus that may have been 147. Formerly in the University of California Bancroft Library, and, before that, in the library of Henry Swinburne. All this for $12, and I found it by chance among the Classics books while she was writing up the cost of my other purchases! Twelve small but engaging illustrations at the beginning (and sometimes ends) of books of fables.
