Abstract
-
en_US
Here is a charming 18th century La Fontaine with designs at the beginning of each of the twelve books and a lovely frontispiece of Aesop, La Fontaine, Fable, and Truth. In fact, I find the model for this frontispiece in the 1740 Triller, Neue Aesopische Fabeln. As far as I can ascertain, this particular edition is not in Bodemann. The illustrations at the beginning of each book, after Book I, seem not to have a connection with the first poem of their book, or in fact with any particular fable. They seem to be more printer's designs, sometimes repeated, as at the beginning of Books II and VIII. I have removed some of the many place-marks inserted into this copy by an eager earlier reader.
