Rare edition of the Italian translation by the philosopher Giulio Landi 1498-1579 of Aesop's fables and the Life of Aesop including no less than 400 animal fables some collected from other sources. The fables are illustrated with numerous small anonymous woodcuts that appeared for the first time in 1569 in the fables collected by Cesare Pavesi and became very popular through Landis translations of Aesop beginning in 1580. They have been attributed to Johann Krieger a German working in Italy where he was known as Giovanni Chrieger. Several woodcuts are repeated especially at the end for the fables taken from other sources. All fables close with a moral here called "Sentenza" intended for the instruction and amusement of the youth.With 2 holes in the last few pages some water stains throughout and some restorations with now discoloured tape.

The charming simple but decisively cut woodcut illustrations are typical of the early productions of the Remondini firm who used the blocks as well in several Latin editions of the fables.<br/> <br/> Giovanni Antonio Remondini 1634-1711 an enterprising businessman whose earliest commercial successes were in wool production was the founder of the long-lived Bassano print publishing firm later known for its paper production. Specialized at first in the production of popular prints mainly engravings the firm’s typographic activities were circumscribed until the mid-18th century by the Venetian monopoly of book production; thus the Remondinis’ earlier typographical output was limited to popular chapbooks and devotional works for a local readership usually in small formats and often illustrated with quickly but skillfully cut woodcuts as here. <br/> <br/> This undated edition corresponds with the below-cited ICCU record in its pagination and fingerprints but several mispaginations described in ICCU were here corrected. The ICCU editors note two variants one with the place of publication given as Bassano only and this state or issue with imprint “In Venetia et in Bassano†dubbed variant B. ICCU ITICCULO1E04628; cf.

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.

1692049<b>Folio 8-1/2 by 13 inches contemporary full brown calf Skillfully rebacked with blind-stamped spine raised bands red morocco spine label. First edition of former censor Roger L Estrange s classic version of Aesop s Fables with copper-engraved frontispiece portrait of L Estrange and fine copperplate frontispiece of Aesop. In 1690 John Locke was the first to suggest Aesop as a beginning book for children. Shortly thereafter Tory pamphleteer and onetime Surveyor of the Press Roger L Estrange was commissioned to produce this edition of fables likely the first compiled expressly for children. 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 Muir 24. Simple and somewhat racy in style L Estrange s edition was continuously reprinted helping to popularize both Aesop and the genre of fables among children. The most extensive collection of fables in existence 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.
