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

OTTIME CONDIZIONI GENERALI, LIEVE BRUNITURA, LIEVI SEGNI DEL TEMPO; PICCOLA ROTTURA AL BORDO SUPERIORE DEL DORSO. Il gatto con gli stivali è una fiaba popolare europea. La più antica attestazione scritta della storia risale a Giovanni Francesco Straparola, che la incluse nelle sue Piacevoli notti (pubblicate a partire dal 1550) con il titolo di Costantino Fortunato; è incerto se Straparola abbia inventato la fiaba o abbia semplicemente trascritto un racconto della tradizione orale. Un secolo più tardi, vide la luce la versione di Giambattista Basile. Nel Romanticismo tedesco fu Ludwig Tieck a scrivere questa fiaba con linguaggio tipicamente romantico, prendendosi gioco della letteratura del tempo. Apparve in "Fiabe popolari" dello stesso Tieck, insieme ad altre celebri fiabe come Barbablù; la loro caratteristica era quella di nascondere l'orrore attraverso la comicità, o l'ironia. Celebri divennero anche le versioni create da Charles Perrault e dai Fratelli Grimm.
