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 Language: eng. No Binding. Good.
