Abstract
-
en_US
I can comment only peripherally on the content of this book, but I can say some things about its history. I found it during a time while I was a tour guide for a group of classics teachers in Cumae. We were visiting the National Museum in Naples. I had been there perhaps four times in four weeks. After I did my overview of some of the treasures of this spectacular museum, people needed an hour to find their own treasures in the museum. I took this hour of rare freedom to hit the streets and find used bookstores. This is the one treasure I can remember finding. Access to its bibliographical information is unfortunately restricted by a picture advertising a German phonograph record, which has been pasted over the middle of the title-page! The bookseller's card praises the many tasteful vignettes. It mentions the vignetta postuma attaccata al front. The book, in frail condition, seems to contain one hundred original fables, many of them adorned with simple but tasteful black-and-white designs. Perhaps the most dramatic of these is the first, showing the sheep among the thorns (1). At the back of the book is an AI of parole spiegate; I take this expression, which seems to elucidated or explained, to refer to the copious footnotes on words on almost every page. Following this index are a ricordo biografico of the author of these fables and a T of C. There is foxing throughout this book.
