Abstract
I have not taken time to read through Henryson's work this time, as I did with the following more recent edition of his work: The Moral Fables of Aesop by Robert Henryson. An Edition of the Middle Scots Text, with a Facing Prose Translation, Introduction, and Notes by George D. Gopen (1987). It was very nice to find this book at York's Minster, since there is reference in it to finding a very valuable edition of Henryson in York Minster's library (217). Let me limit myself here to pointing out the portions of this work that someone interested in fables may find most helpful. In the introduction, xix-xxiv are devoted to fables. The prologue and thirteen fables themselves are on 1-102. Photocopies of Henryson's title-page, of the beginning of the prologue to the fables, and of the beginning of The Taill of the Cok, and the Jasp are, respectively, the frontispiece and face xiv and 4. A short appendix on 217 has to do with the printing of the book. The commentary dealing with the fables runs from 225 to 251. The book closes with an extensive glossary.
