Der Edelstein
(Müller and SchindlerOriginal: Albrecht Pfister; Reproduction: Verlag Müller und Schindler/Buchdruckerei Holzer, 1461)

The History and Fables of Aesop
(Scolar Press, 1484)

This book of 37 fables has two very positive features: the coloring of Caxton's (primitive) woodcuts and the faithful rendition of his text with modern spelling and orthography. Different: the ox also steps on the expanding ...
