Favole Fedro: e tu che animale sei?

Abstract

This seems to be a smaller paperbound version of a large-format hardbound book I found in Rome in 1998. It was also printed by Demetra in 1997. This version seems to have changed translator from that version. By contrast with that book, this smaller paperbound version seems to present texts for all of Phaedrus' fables. There is a T of C at the back. The thirty-one illustrations here are nicely colored pictures always less than a full page, and they are placed right with their texts. Perhaps the most dramatic illustration is still that for Il calvo e la mosca (107). Does the book ever follow up on the title's engaging question? This copy may be unusual in that it has first a price in both Lire and Euros (12,000 and 6.20, respectively). Then it has a sticker on its cover proclaiming in English Special Price € 2.
