1554réf. 3630Nuremberg: Gedrückt zu Nürnberg durch Friderich Gutknecht 1554. FIRST COLLECTED EDITION. The first work was first printed in 1535 as "Eyn new gedichte von den Schmeichlern" VD16 S 478. The third fable appeared as a broadside ca. 1540 Weller 82 not in VD16. I have been unable to trace an earlier ed. of the second fable. Hardcover. Fine. Bound in modern vellum over boards soiled slightly bowed. The text is in very good condition with a little light dust-soiling a few small spots on the final two leaves and soiling to the verso of the final leaf. With two woodcut illustrations and a fine woodcut ornament on the final leaf. No copies traced in North America. Hans Sachs' reworkings of three traditional fables two by Aesop "The shepherd flatters the wolf" and "The hares and the frogs" and one "the envious man and the miser" by the Latin fabulist Avianus. The first woodcut shows the devious wolf hiding in his cave. The second shows the miser and envious man having their eyes gouged out. The poet and playwright Hans Sachs a shoemaker and guild master by trade was an accomplished Meistersinger of the Nuremberg School Sachs is the title character of Wagner's "Meistersinger". Sachs' songs plays and dialogues address the social concerns of his day and the effects of the Reformation on the established social order. The Fables: 1. Ein yder sehe für sich und verberg sich hinder keinen Schmeichler. Ein jeder sehe für sich und verbarg sich hinter keinen Schmeichler. The shepherd tries to deceive the wolf: A wolf stalked by a hunter comes upon a shepherd and begs him to hide him from the hunter promising a rich reward. The shepherd agrees to help and the wolf hides in a cave. The hunter coming upon the spot but not seeing the wolf asks the shepherd if he has seen his quarry. The shepherd knowing that the wolf is watching them indicates with his hands that the wolf has gone off in a certain direction. Yet while he does so he tries by means of his eyes to let the hunter know that the wolf is in fact hiding in the cave. The hunter fails to see this and heads off. The shepherd then addresses the wolf telling him that he should be grateful that he has saved his life. The wolf thanks him but -being fully aware of the shepherd's deceit damns the shepherd's eyes. 2. Ein schöne Histori von dem Neidigen und dem Geitzigen Schöne Historie von dem Neidigen und dem Geizigen The Envious man and the Miser: "In this fable Jupiter sent Phoebus to earth where he stumbled upon an envious and a miserly person. He offered the miser a wish adding that whatever he wished for should be given double to his companion. The miser determined to wish for nothing knowing he would get only half what the other received and left it to his companion to make the wish. Thereupon the envious man took revenge by wishing that one of his own eyes be gouged out so that his companion would be made blind. Sachs concludes that envy makes envious persons suffer. They delight in the misery of others even if they are about to suffer the same fate themselves and their hearts are full of poison."Roper The Witch in the Western Imagination 3. "Ein yder trag sein joch dise Zeit" Ein jeder trage sein Joch diese Zeit und überwind sein Übel mit Geduld The hares and the frogs: Enduring and overcoming evil with patience: Once upon a time some hares driven desperate by the many enemies foxes wolves falcons hunters that threatened them from every direction came to the sad resolution that there was nothing left for them to do but kill themselves. They scurried to a nearby lake determined to drown themselves the most miserable of creatures. A group of frogs seated upon the bank frightened at the approach of the hares leaped in great alarm and confusion into the water. 'Nay then my friends' said the leader of the hares 'our case is not so desperate yet for here are other poor creatures more faint-hearted than ourselves.'.

1840réf. 173764Canton: Canton Press Office 1840. The first full Chinese translation of Aesop's Fables First edition association copy inscribed by William Jardine one of the three "generous patrons" named in the dedication on the front wrapper "R. Goff Esqr. 105 Piccadilly from the compiler with Mr. Jardine's compliments". Jardine 1784-1843 co-founded the successful trading firm Jardine Matheson & Co. and held significant sway over the course of Anglo-Chinese relations either side of the First Opium War. This Chinese translation was intended as a primer to help the growing number of British students of Chinese working for Jardine Matheson the East India Company and other concerns in Canton. Robert Thom 1807-46 who adopted the pen-name "Sloth" honed his language skills while working for Jardine's and acted as a translator for British forces during the First Opium War 1839-42 and at the 1843 Supplementary Treaty negotiations. He was later British consul at Ningbo. Each page offers three columns of English Chinese characters and romanized Chinese. For each fable Thom dictated the Chinese to his teacher who brushed them in a legible hand. According to the introduction the volume was the first time Chinese wooden blocks and European metal type were used side-by-side during printing. Thom's translation was later reprinted in various modified editions by the Anglo-Chinese College the Shanghai Free Hospital and the Wenyutang Chinese Printing and Publishing Company. This edition is well represented institutionally but is uncommon in commerce - we have traced only five appearances at auction in the past six decades. Of these only one retained both of the original wrappers as here. Provenance: Robert Goff 1801-1866 was an antiquarian who travelled widely in the Middle East and Asia presenting a collection of Egyptian antiquities to the British Museum in 1847. This copy was later in the Bibliotheca Lindesiana one of the most impressive private collections of the 19th century its bookplate is on the front pastedown. Alexander Lindsay 1812-80 later 25th Earl of Crawford and 8th Earl of Balcarres met Goff while the latter was travelling and at the sale of Goff's art collection in 1866 Quaritch acquired a collection of Chinese drawings and sold these to Lindsay. This copy entered the Lindsay library either via Quaritch or via the dispersal of the Goff library in the 1890s. It is recorded in the 1910 Bibliotheca Lindesiana catalogue. Quarto 295 x 202 mm. With engraving of Chinese character styles furnished by Elijah Coleman Bridgman the compiler of the Canton Chrestomathy. Late 19th-century brown hard-grain half morocco by Henry Wood raised bands ruled in gilt spine lettered in gilt Papier Tourniquet-pattern sides marbled endpapers with design of Spanish moiré on Turkish with overprinted gold vein pattern top edge gilt original yellow printed wrappers bound in. Binding a little worn corners and extremities recoloured light foxing neat tissue repairs at foot of wrappers and title page loss at lower corner of p. 103 a few tide marks to fore edges: a very good copy.
