Esopo Volgariato per Uno da Siena: Testo di Lingua Accommodato ad Uso De' Giovanetti

Abstract

This looks at first glimpse like a standard middle-sized-format collection, on (viii +) 128 pages, of some sixty-three fables in Italian with vocabulary footnotes. It is that, but below the last fable on 126 we read that the text was written by Francesco Orlandi in 1449. A former owner was perhaps trying to tip off later readers when he wrote on the front endpaper Vedi Pagina #126. This is then a nice old Italian version of fables reprinted and commented on in the middle of the nineteenth century. There is an AI at the back of the book.
