An extremely scarce early 17th century edition of Aesop's Fables, illustrated with the most elegant icons: published as a bilingual Greek and Latin copy. Added to this edition, beyond the previous ones, were the icons that were missed in the life of Aesop. Various stories have been added, as well as the pamphlets that you will see on the next page. This edition has been illustrated with 87 woodcuts. There is underlining throughout.
Worldcat records three existing copies of this edition in libraries.
One vellum bound volume in 32mo, 427+(5) pages
This volume is in very good shape, with minor wear and staining to the binding, and some splitting to the foot of the front hinge. There is some soiling and toning throughout, with some dogearing to the first and last leaves.
