Aesop's Fables or the Aesopica is a collection of fables credited to Aesop a slave and storyteller believed to have lived in ancient Greece between 620 and 564 BCE. Of diverse origins the stories associated with his name have descended to modern times through a number of sources and continue to be reinterpreted in different verbal registers and in popular as well as artistic media. The fables originally belonged to the oral tradition and were not collected for some three centuries after Aesop's death. By that time a variety of other stories jokes and proverbs were being ascribed to him although some of that material was from sources earlier than him or came from beyond the Greek cultural sphere. The process of inclusion has continued until the present with some of the fables unrecorded before the later Middle Ages and others arriving from outside Europe. The process is continuous and new stories are still being added to the Aesop corpus even when they are demonstrably more recent work and sometimes from known authors. Manuscripts in Latin and Greek were important avenues of transmission although poetical treatments in European vernaculars eventually formed another. On the arrival of printing collections of Aesop's fables were among the earliest books in a variety of languages. Through the means of later collections and translations or adaptations of them Aesop's reputation as a fabulist was transmitted throughout the world. Initially the fables were addressed to adults and covered religious social and political themes. They were also put to use as ethical guides and from the Renaissance onwards were particularly used for the education of children. Their ethical dimension was reinforced in the adult world through depiction in sculpture painting and other illustrative means as well as adaptation to drama and song. In addition there have been reinterpretations of the meaning of fables and changes in emphasis over time. . Signed by Author. First Edition. Hard Cover.

This beautiful limited edition of Aesop is generally considered to be the finest book from Officina Bodoni and is thought by many to be among the half dozen greatest private press books ever printed. Probably the most important certainly the longest-lived 20th century Continental private press Officina Bodoni was founded in 1922 by Hans Mardersteig who later changed his first name to Giovanni. Like Sweynheym and Pannartz the first printers in Italy Mardersteig was born in Germany but moved to Italy as an adult and set up his hand press in a small village there. Will Carter has called Mardersteig "probably the finest pressman the world has ever seen or is ever likely to see" and it is difficult to overstate the pleasure derived from the precision of the Officina Bodoni books. Based on a beautiful hand-colored copy of the Aesop of Giovanni Alvise the third printer in Verona the Officina Bodoni Aesop celebrates the golden anniversary of Mardersteig's founding of his press.
