Abstract
Here is a second copy of this lovely book. In keeping with the policy of this collection, I include it, since it is part of a numbered, limited edition. In this case, 150 copies of the total of 3650 were marked HC for those who had collaborated in the project. It would be interesting to know which collaborator's copy this is. As I mentioned about copy #764, the page after the title-page describes this lovely edition well: Les 308 fables ésopique dans une nouvelle Traduction par Jacques Lacarrière suivies d'un essai sur le symbolisme des fables, illustrées de dix miniatures d'un manuscrit de Vincent de Beauvais. The miniatures are miniature -- about 2 square -- but lovely. One of them, a bit larger, is on the front cover depicting the battle of the birds and the animals. The best of the miniatures are Le Cerf et le Lion (after #77); Le Lion et le Renard (after #155); and Le Renard au Ventre Gonflé (after #202). The manuscript containing them belongs to Chester Beatty in Dublin. The book has a lively red cloth cover. The numbered fables are one to a page; pagination picks up at 311 three pages after the last fable. There are 329 pages before the AI listing the fables with their numbers in red.
