Abstract

en_US
This expanded second edition of Jauffret's fables includes some 442 fables in fifteen books. An earlier edition of 1814 or 1815 was published by Maradan: Didot l'ainé and contained only ten books. Curiously, this edition seems to take over the six illustrations and portrait frontispiece from that edition, with no new illustrations added for the added five books of fables. Those illustrations appear here at 39, 89, 178, 219, and, in Volume 2, as frontispiece and at 87. Shapiro presents six of these fables in The Fabulists French. For example, Jauffret's very first fable cites La Fontaine but tracks another crow who waits to let a farmer thresh the grain. When he has done so, the crow can seize nothing of it. Wait for something better and you may get nothing! Sometimes Jauffret offers an extension of a La Fontaine fable. The wolf of WL meets a lion and offers all sorts of excuses but suffers the very kind of justice that he had inflicted. The sister of the exploded frog in OF decides to go on a diet to avoid her sister's fate, but may well kill herself with the diet. She needs the golden mean. An oak thinks itself generous in offering its acorns to the animals. A pig responds: You only give what you are too weak to keep. A cat is ready to seize a mouse but is reminded that this mouse's father once saved the cat and got a promise from the cat of perpetual protection of all the father mouse's family. The cat recalls, agrees, and asks to meet the whole family of twelve. Of course she devours them all! The closing AI is cut off in the midst of B. This book was once owned in a Jesuit library. It is not the first that I have had to buy back!
