Remark:
What a lovely find! Here is Herrmann's book of Phaedrus. Cloth hardcover. Herrmann's text is of course in French and includes prose translations of the Latin fables. Bound in light grey cloth with green lettering on the front and side. The cover is lightly soiled and worn. The binding is strong. Textblock is solid, tinted green on top. The pages are clean and intact. This copy was owned by Ohio State but apparently never taken out; it was apparently their second copy. A first half of the book covers the life and genius of Phaedrus. The second half is a careful presentation of Phaedrus' text and related texts. The last two appendices present the traditional numbering of Phaedrus' fables and Herrmann's reconstruction of Phaedrus' four books with forty fables in each.
