299Verona: Officina Bodoni 1972. Limited Edition. Fine. Octavo 9 7/8 x 6 1/2 in 250 x 165 mm; 2 volume set in slipcase. Vol. 1 pp. 280 with 68 hand-colored woodcuts; Vol. 2 pp. 120. Set in Centaur type and printed on hand-made Magnani paper with goose watermark. Original morocco-backed vellum with strapwork border and title in gilt t.e.g. remaining uncut; number 146 of 160 sets; text in Latin Italian and English. Woodcut illustrations by Anna Bramanti after Liberale da Verona ALL HAND-COLOURED AFTER A COPY OF THE 1479 EDITION IN THE BRITISH MUSEUM BY THE ATELIER DANIEL JACOMET OF PARIS list of woodcuts loosely inserted. <br /> Mardersteig 182. An exquisite and beautifully-executed edition of Aesop's FABLES richly illustrated with newly-cut wood engravings after a copy of the 1479 edition in the collection of the British Museum whose woodcuts are attributed to Liberale da Verona 1441-1526. The illustrations are beautifully carved and hand-colored with a rich scale of colors and shadings that remind us of illuminated miniatures.<br /> <br /> The Latin text comes from the Giovanni Alvise 1479 edition and was translated from the Greek by the Veronese poet Accio Zucco who possibly also used some earlier medieval translations. Each fable is followed by two sonnets by Zucco: the first tells the story Sonetto materiale and the second point the moral of the fable Sonetto morale. For this edition the Latin and Italian texts were revised by the philiologist Giovanni Battista Pighi. <br /> <br /> The second volume contains the William Caxton translation 1484 into English of the first 60 fables. The remaining 6 fables are here translated from Latin by Betty Radice. Prefatory note by Tanya and Hans Schmoller who carried out the revision of the text. <br /> <br /> Vol. 1 frontispiece: "THE FABLES OF AESOP. Printed from the Veronese edition of MCCCCLXXIX in Latin verses and the Italian version by Accio Zucco with the woodcuts newly engraved and coloured after a copy in the British Museum." Vol. 2 frontispiece: "The first three books of CAXTON'S AESOP containing the fables illustrated in the Verona Aesopus of MCCCLXXIX"<br /> <br /> Commenting on the making of this edition Giovanni Madersteig wrote: "At the end of the epilogue I examine the different illustrated editions of the fables printed in Italy during the fifteenth century. This comparison proves that the Verona Aesop was the model for all of them. Even the better-known Aesop from Naples printed by Tuppo contains quite a number of scenes with the same composition but in mirror image. The watermark of the goose which identifies the paper used in the first edition of the Aesop and in other Veronese books as having come from Toscolano was revived for this and other books printed at the Officina Bodoni." Barr John. The Officina Bodoni Montagnola Verona: Books Printed By Giovanni Mardersteig on the Hand Press 1923-1977. London: The British Library 1978. pp. 170-174<br /> <br /> Giovanni Mardersteig Weimar 1892 - Verona 1977 was a printer and typographer who as head of Officina Bodoni created books exemplifying the highest standards in the art of printing. The press began in 1922 in Montagnola Switzerland and moved to Verona in 1927. It printed and published some 200 books and pamphlets including Politian's Favola d'Orfeo; Shelley's Epipsychidion Shakespeare's Tempest and Dante's Vita nuova. There are good collections in many major European and American libraries. The Bodleian Library at Oxford holds a particularly rich collection. Following Mardersteig's death in 1977 his son Martino Mardersteig took over and still occasionally used the Officina Bodoni imprint for works he printed on his father's hand-presses.

Third edition corrected and amended from the 1692 edition. With the second part in first edition the two seldom found together. Roger L'Estrange 1616-1704 was Tory journalist and pamphleteer notorious for his censorship of “seditious†Whig publications in his role as Surveyor of the Press. His edition of Aesop was commissioned by a group of booksellers and appeared two years after Locke first recommended Aesop as a first reading book for children. Muir writes it was “the best and largest collection of fables in English and he had children especially in mind when making his compilation… He included many other fabulists besides Aesop notably a selection from La Fontaine within 20 years of the first appearance of any of his fables in French. It is highly probable that this was their earliest appearance in English.†The DNB notes of L’Estrange’s Aesop that it was “an assemblage of fables and facetiae from a variety of sources ancient and modern the second volume being wholly unAesopian. The trenchant reflections added to the individual fables possess a strong political animus and were to draw severe criticism from the later whig fabulist Samuel Croxall; but all L'Estrange's translations have some degree of political colouring… This compilation also includes a biography of Aesop an alphabetical table of the fables and fables by Barlandus Anianus Abstemius Poggius and La Fontaine.†DNB.
