[Esopo favole](15x21) pp. 200. Questo libro si compone di ben 430 favole, 354 di Esopo, altre di La Fontaine ed altre ancora dello stesso Pancrazi, ma tutte sembrano scaturite da un'unica mente, impossibile distinguerne i vari autori. Diversamente dalla favole di Esopo, riportate in tante antologie, queste non hanno la morale, tolta volutamente da Pancrazi per renderle di più immediato approccio per il lettore. Anche il titolo per molte è stato cambiato; ridotto ad una o due parole sole parole, esprimenti in sintesi il concetto del racconto. Nelle pagine iniziali "Invito all'Esopo", leggiamo, tra l'altro, la tanto particolare, quanto leggendaria vita di Esopo. L'opera è inoltre impreziosita dalla prefazione della giornalista Marina Corradi e dall'introduzione del filosofo Edoardo Mirri. L'editore in dieci pagine finali ha voluto catalogare queste favole, raggruppandone i titoli sotto gli analoghi concetti che, a suo parere, esprimono, come: adulazione, affetto deleterio, ambiguità, ecc.

1697Best.-Nr. 55531Paris: Widow of Claude Thiboust Madeleine Thévenon / Augustin Leguerrier 1697. Very good. First edition published in France of this influential Latin collection of Aesopian-fables - almost certainly the edition used by fairy tale-popularizer Charles Perrault for his French translation of 1699. Faerno's Neo-Latin fables were first published in 1563 as FABULAE CENTUM and soon became the most successful original work in the Aesopian tradition until La Fontaine; like La Fontaine Faerno adapted classical sources like Aesop as well as writing his own fables. In fact this edition's name refers to another important fabulist and celebrated Latin translator of Aesop Phaedrus whose work was rediscovered in the Renaissance; Faerno's fables were considered so good that many thought he cribbed them from Phaedrus - a charge against which Perrault defended him in his French translation of 1699. This edition was published the same year as Perrault's book of fairy tales HISTOIRES OU CONTES DU TEMPS PASSÉ 1697. Perrault appears to have begun his translation of Faerno around the same time suggesting that Perrault saw his fairy-tale work as linked to the fabulist tradition going back to Aesop. This edition the first printed in France according to the anonymous preface was meant especially for the education of children rearranging some of the entries to start with those easier to comprehend. Ashby notes that "Aesop's fables were not originally created for children" 6 but rather were intended as lessons for adults. Yet Faerno's own Aesopian fables were seen as a pedagogical tool from the beginning especially for teaching students Latin; it was works like this one that helped transform the wisdom tradition of the Aesopian fable into what we now see as a children's genre side by side with the fairy tale tradition. 12mo 5.5'' x 3.25''.

1875Best.-Nr. 34370London: Chatto & Windus 1875. Very good. Second edition of this Victorian tour de force with fine and fabulous hand-colored images of humanized animals. Eric Quayle notes that Bennett 1829-1867 had a short career which was terminated by consumption but his books were "extremely popular most passing though several editions"; this book "contains some of Bennett's finest and most vigorous work" 217. The Morgan Library's EARLY CHILDREN'S BOOKS AND THEIR ILLUSTRATORS also list it as a notable edition of Aesop. Bennett's compositions suggest the fine caricature of PUNCH but applied a classic work of ancient Greece. 9.75'' x 7.25''. Original blue pictorial cloth stamped in gilt and black. Yellow coated endpapers. Illustrated by Bennett with 24 full-page wood engravings hand colored including title page. 22 pages. Emboss of famed Victorian bookselling firm W.H.

1538Best.-Nr. 338977Basilae: In officina Heruagiana 1538. Collection first published by Froben 1518. A1-Z8: 393 5 pp. 8vo. Late 17th-century stamped-calf binding loss to head and foot of spine title page with borders drawn on it some loss to title page not affecting text annotated throughout some worming needs to be resewn and binding reattached title page should be repaired. Provenance: Johannis Miller. Collection first published by Froben 1518. A1-Z8: 393 5 pp. 8vo. With ownership signaure to the title page: "Ex Libris Johannis Miller pret. 1s. 0d Anno Dm 1693" a further ownership signature to the recto of the last leaf "Ex Libris Johannis Miller A D 1688" and annotations throughout the text. Rev. John Miller 1666-1724 was commissioned fort chaplain of the New York companies in 1692 spending 1692-1695 in New York: "Miller was the sole officiating Episcopal clergyman in the entire province of New York during the three years of his residence; his activities as evinced by contemporary records and his familiarity with all inhabited parts extended beyond the confines of the city." During this time he wrote extensive notes about New York and drew a map of the fort. When his returning vessel was overtaken by French Privateers he threw his documents overboard to destroy the intelligence contained therein. He later rewrote many of his observations and redrew the map from memory it's retained in his manuscripts at the British Museum from George Chalmers in 1842 and was later published in Valentine's 1842-3 Manual. He returned to England where he was given the post of vicar of Effingham gaining a reputation as a "worthy and respectable vicar" and "a man of research." His library was still "preserved with great care" by his successor in the beginning of the nineteenth century then consigned and sold in New York by Bangs and Company in 1894. A number of his books have found their way into prominent libraries and collections Stokes' Iconography; Paltsits Victor Hugo intr. "New Yorke Considered and Improved A.D. 1695 by John Miller" Electronic Texts in American Studies 17. The present work seems to have gone from him to another owner Richard Norton and then to Thomas Norton; the second page has the ownership signature and note: "Thomas Norton pretium / Thomae Dicitur Fr Richard". Thomas Norton could be Thomas Norton 1684-1748 Whig Member of Parliament of Ixworth Abbey Bury St. Edmunds Suffolk; the grandson of Col. Richard Norton M.P. 1615-1691 intimate friend of Cromwell; and nephew of Maj. Richard Norton.
