Abstract
Here is the apparent first edition of a volume already in the collection in its later reedited form, namely by Hans Lothar Markschies in 1953. It is listed in the same series from the same publisher. That 1953 copy is proclaimed on the title-page as a "Zweite Auflage." As the early T of C points out, there are exactly two hundred numbered items here; all are in verse. I checked out the first hundred items and found seven identified as fables. Their numbers there do not always correspond with their numbers in the second edition. They are: #3 FM; 14 WL; 20 "Frogs and Hares"; 21 DLS; 22 "Wolf and Lying Shepherd"; 23 "Greedy and Envious"; and 47 GA. There are also a number of anecdotes from the life of Aesop, which were not marked as fables. Sachs' fables are relatively easy to make out. Sachs was born in Nurnberg in 1494 and apprenticed as a shoemaker. He joined the Reformation early. He became a meistersinger and created a wide variety of literature, including some 6000 poetic works.
