Modern binding; frontispiece of vol. II somewhat chipped otherwise clean and good. Rare and richly illustrated edition of Aesop’s fables with extensive dialogue on the moral of each fable.

Bellegarde also added 18 fables of the Latin poet Philelphus and 37 fables based on Aesop by Gabrias and Avienus. The larger fables added are the “Battle of the Cats and the Rats” and the “Battle of the Rats and the Frogs.” Thereafter follow five “Tales” of Aesop taken from Plato’s dialogue “Protagoras” another six “Poetical fables” with Olympian Gods as protagonists two more “Tales” one taken from Herodot and a last fable taken from Gerbellius. The beautiful fable illustrations are by Georg Paul Busch; a Berlin copper-engraver who died in 1756.

‎Aesop Sebastian Brandt‎

‎Appologi sive Mythologi cum quibusdam Carminum et Fabularum additionibus Sebastiani Brant‎

‎Basel: Jacob Wolff of Pforzheim 1501. First edition thus. An early illustrated edition of Aesop's Fables augmented and edited by Sebastian Brant and the first edition to include his additional 140 sections. Two parts in one volume folio leaves measuring 297 x 208 mm. Collates complete retaining one of the two blank leaves M6 lacking. Collation identical to the Fairfax-Murray copy: a-b8 c6-o8 alternately p-s6 s6 blank and original; A-B8 C-D6 E8-K6 alternately L4 M5 M6 final blank lacking. With the famous woodcut portrait of Aesop on the verso of a1 and a smaller woodcut portrait of Brant on the verso of A1 in part two. A total of 335 woodcuts divided into 194 in part one and 141 in part two inclusive of the portraits. Text in Latin. <br/><br/>Full black straight-grain morocco. Boards ruled in gilt with gilt dentelles. Spine stamped and lettered in gilt. All edges gilt. Marbled endpapers. Generous margins. Previous owner's small bookplate on front pastedown. This copy has been very carefully restored and generally presents quite well. Certain passages were deemed obscene shortly after publication and as a consequence most known copies have a few sections defaced. This copy is no different with a number of passages and illustrations crossed out and/or marked "no legas" "do not read". A number of leaves have had small marginal tears or wormholes repaired occasionally affecting a letter or a word. One leaf C4 with a small hole affecting the woodcut on the recto and two or three words on the verso. A few leaves have been remargined including the title page to part 2 leaf A1. In two places leaves are bound out of order. The flaws notwithstanding a lovely book.<br/><br/>The plan of this edition was conceived by Sebastian Brant. The first part of the book is based on Johann Zainer's first illustrated edition of 1476-77 translated into Latin by Heinrich Steinhöwel. Brant expands the work polishes the language and includes his commentaries to these fables. The second part is an entirely new work by Brant of 140 fables riddles accounts of miracles and other wonders of nature. These 140 new chapters follow the same structure as the first section with a woodcut followed by verse and then prose "some of a very remarkable character" according to Hugh W. Davies Fairfax Murray. These compositions are taken from the works of Stace Juvenal Virgil Ovid Lucien. The first story taken from Hesiod is said to be the oldest known fable.<br/><br/>"The numerous woodcuts in this volume fall into two distinct categories. The woodcuts in the first part with a few exceptions are rather simplistic and naive in execution and are based in reverse on the woodcuts from Zainer's successful Ulm edition of c.1476 incidentally the first illustrated edition of Aesop; the actual blocks were first used in Wolff's edition of not after 1489 Goff A115. The woodcuts of the second part are more sophisticated with the use of hatching and perspective to enliven the images and they were cut specifically for this edition; is it thought they were produced by the workshop of Johann Grüninger in Strassburg" Sotheby's. According to Hugh W. Davies "The remainder of the cuts are by a new artist the style entirely differing from the older blocks. These are heavily shaded by thin close parallel lines amalgamating into a solid mass in the deepest shadows. The perspective as a rule is fair: the faces are well rounded the noses being broad at the bridge but well-shaped. The cuts have the appearance of metal but they nevertheless are probably on wood."<br/><br/>In the past 30 years there have been five other auction results for this book one copy selling twice. The average price achieved in those five sales including the buyer's premium is just under $119000. If we average just the two copies sold in the last ten years that average jumps to over $167000. Of those five results the lowest sale price from 2002 made over $81000. And finally to complete the analysis a particularly fine copy was offered by the trade in 2014 for 200000 pounds roughly $329000. So while our copy has its defects and imperfections as do almost all other copies it is priced competitively for such a lovely and important work. <br/><br/> Fairfax Murray 20. Goed. I 390 24.

‎AESOP & BABRIUS‎

‎Aesopi Phrygis fabulae elegantissimis eiconibus veras animalium species ad vivum adumbrantes. Gabriae Graeci fabellae lxiv recté lxiii. Haec omnia cum Latina interpretatione. Nunc postremùm excusa & accuratè recognita.‎

‎Paris: Jean Libert 1623. Contemporary French gold-tooled calf sewn on 2 supports each board with the coat-of-arms of Henri de La Tour 1555-1623 Duc de Bouillon and Prince of Sedan who married the daughter of William the Silent founding father of the Dutch Republic with a French Ducal crown the whole in a wreath of 2 laurel branches with berries the flat spine divided into 4 fields each with a central decoration gilt edges. Marbled paste-downs fine-toothed combed pattern in red blue and white. 16mo. With a woodcut decoration on the title-page and woodcut decorated initials in the text. Very rare 24º edition of 150 prose fables by Aesop and 43 verse fables by Babrius here called Gabrius in Greek and Latin on facing pages remotely based on the text of the illustrated humanistic editions published by Jean de Tournes in Lyons. While the existence of Aesop ca. 620-ca. 584 BCE as a story teller is attested in many early sources the canon that appears under his name contains fables passed down orally and rendered in literary form by many authors over the centuries. Babrius wrote verse fables shortly before 200 CE that were later rendered in Greek prose and added to the Aesop canon. Although the title-page indicates that the fables are illustrated the present edition never contains woodcuts: Libert apparently copied his title from one of the illustrated editions. He does include Maximus Planudes’s extensive account of Aesop’s life preceding the fables. Although the earliest European marbled papers appear to have been made in or around southern Germany they were not combed. Wolfe notes that the French first used marbled paper for bookbindings and the present paste-downs closely resemble his earliest example of combed marbled paper. The arms on the binding are quartered with an inescutcheon. The Counts of Auvergne had born the quartered arms of La Tour and the Counts of Auvergne with the inescutcheon of the Counts of Boulogne since 1389. With the Counts of Boulogne extinct the arms passed to another branch of the family descending to Henri de La Tour 1555-1623 who took the title Duc de Bouillon by marriage in 1591 and later inherited the title Vicomte de Turenne from his father. In 1595 he married Elisabeth van Oranje Nassau daughter of William the Silent 1533-1584. Their second son was the famous Marshal Turenne 1611-1675. Early owner’s inscription on title-page in ink. Lacking the last leaf of the index title-page cut short at the head not affecting the text and a small worm hole in the second half sometime affecting a letter in the first line but otherwise in good condition. Binding rubbed not affecting the arms and backstrip worn a few small chips and holes and hinges cracked.l KVK & WorldCat 2 or 3 copies; cf. Bodemann 29.2 similar 1570 De Tournes ed.
