Remark:
This exquisite book lacks a title page and 177/78. Besides, 179 is misprinted as 197. It remains for me an exquisite mystery book. If it were not for the fact that it seems to end on 400, I would think that it is either a copy or a descendant of Laurentius' 1667 edition, because the illustrations match so exactly those given by Bodemann in Fabula Docet (19 and 144). The Laurentius edition is Bodemann's #68 in Fabula Docet and #75.1 in Das Fabelbuch. I can find no mention of reproductions of Hagens' work in Carnes or Bodemann. Here is work for a researcher more skilled than I! In the meantime, it is a lovely little book, very well preserved and nicely bound.
