Phaedri Augusti Liberti Fabulae Aesopiae

Abstract

This work is in amazingly good condition for its age! It was well preserved in the novitiate at Los Gatos and the teachers' library at Santa Clara! Volume I has an unusual T of C at its beginning and then a fairly straightforward presentation of the fables with standard notes. As this presentation ends on 309, one finds Lessing's comparative table identifying subject matters in Phaedrus by poem number with Romulus and Nilanti listings. Then on 311 begins a wonderful compendium of variorum comments on the texts. I am proud to get a Dauphin edition into the collection.
