1754pp. xlviij, 305 + Engraved Frontis. Fine headpieces and tail pieces engraved by Fessard, Sornique, and others. Foxed. 12mo. Disbound. All edges gold gilt. Brunet V/1788; Cohen 798. Gaius Julius Phadrus (1st century), was a Thracian slave who translated Aesop's fables into Latin verse. He was certainly more than a reproducer of Aesop, and can be credited with adding many fables of his own. A brief history of the Barbou Classics is given by Schweiger (II 1269). In 1742 Lenglet de Fresnoy persuaded Coustelier to start a series which was meant to be a French rival to the Elzeviers - even surpassing them in terms of scholarship and typography. Though this effort soon exhausted itself, it was revived by Jean Joseph Barbou in 1753. Seven of these attractive little books appeared in 1753-1755, and though there were more issued in the next decade, there was not enough market interest to support a sustained publishing program. They still stand as a monument to French scholarship and typography. This copy is priced low enough to allow for a nice new binding. **PRICE JUST REDUCED! SMALL BOX 5

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''.
