A list of the woodcuts with page numbers is loosely inserted in Volume I together with the publisher's prospectus. Volume I contains the Latin text of the 1479 edition with Accio Zucco's Italian translation. Volume II contains the fables in Caxton's translation with the first fable and the final six of the Veronese edition which Caxton did not include translated from the Latin by Betty Radice. The illustrations were coloured by hand at the Atelier Daniel Jacomet Paris. 'The Aesop cuts show a rich spectrum of colours with delicate hues that recall miniatures. Mardersteig maintained that only a great master could have made the preliminary drawings for the fable illustrations and had in mind at the outset the colouring which would give life to the linear woodcuts. This artist he identified on stylistic grounds with the miniaturist Liberale da Verona whose paintings are to be seen in the large choir-books in the Piccolomini Library in Siena Cathedra and elsewhere' Barr page 90.
