The Medici Aesop
(The New York Public Library, 1488)
This book was published in a hardbound version by Harry N. Abrams in 1989. The lovely illustrations remain as precisely rendered here as there. In a curious move, Adele Westbrook, editor of the hardbound version, is not ...
Aesop: Subtyll Historyes and Fables of Esope Westminster 1483
(Da Capo Press, Plenum Publishing Corporation, 1483)
The reproductions are not at all as good as in the Scolar Press edition. The lack of a title page and of more bibliographical information is surprising in so lovely a book.
Der Edelstein
(Müller and SchindlerOriginal: Albrecht Pfister; Reproduction: Verlag Müller und Schindler/Buchdruckerei Holzer, 1461)
This book was my bible for a month in the summer of 2009 as I prepared a paper for the Renard Society on Boner's Der Edelstein. Actually, I had scanned the facsimile into my computer before I left. Then in Mannheim I ...
The Medici Aesop
(Harry N. Abrams, 1488)
What a treasure! A good introduction gives a concise history of Aesop, the text of the fables, and the illustrations. This hand-written and hand-painted manuscript was done from a printed book, Bono Accurzio's 1480 version ...
Aesopus: Vita et Fabulae Ulm 1476 (Faksimile)
(Edition Libri Illustri Verlag, 1476)
I never thought we would have a copy of this wonderful book in the collection. From the time I first saw subscriptions being invited, I feared it would always be beyond our means. Prayers do get answered! This is a ...
The History and Fables of Aesop
(Scolar Press, 1484)
A wonderfully reproduced book. The text can use the help of Jacobs' later reprinting. The 186 woodcuts (many for the life of Esope ) have their own charm but are distinctly inferior to the Ulm woodcuts from which they ...
Aesop's Fables in William Caxton's Original Illustrated Edition
(Hamish Hamilton Ltd., 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 ...
Aesop's Fables in William Caxton's Original Illustrated Edition
(Hamish Hamilton Ltd., 1484)
Here is an extra copy of this book. 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. ...
Fábulas de Esopo Reproducción en facsímile de la primera edición de 1489
(Real Academia EspanolaTipografia de archivos, 1489)
Palau calls this tall paperbound folio a magnífica reproducción facsímile (81959). The editors seem not to know of the Toulouse edition of 1488; see my Esopete Ystoriado (Toulouse 1488), published in 1990. Nor do they ...
Aesop's Fables Coloring Book
(Dover, 1476)
Here is an unusual member of the fourth generation of Dover's lovely coloring book. The price has, as in the case of other books in this fourth generation, gone up from $1.50 to $2.50 to $2.75 to 2.95. The difference is ...
