Aesop's fables were prescribed by the States of Holland in the Hollandsche schoolordre of 1625 as one of the books to be read in the 3rd class. Christoffel van Sichem II ca. 1577-1658 the second of several woodcut artists in that family studied with Jacques de Gheyn and was one of the leading Dutch book illustrators in the first half of the 17th century. Although the book has no prize certificate or inscription and no owner's name the coat-of-arms of the city of Amersfoort on the binding of a school book strongly suggests a prize binding for a student at the Amersfoort Latin school. With an occasional contemporary manuscript note in Greek and Latin. With a small dark stain in the lower inside corner of the foot margin of many leaves not approaching the text and with very slight browning throughout but still in good condition. The vellum of the binding is dirty and slightly rubbed but also good.l Landwehr Emblem & fable books F025 2 copies; Hollstein XXVII Van Sichem II 31; for the panel-stamp: Spoelder Prijsboeken Amersfoort 1. hardcover
