Abstract
This is an eight-page brochure presenting four fables, each with an illustration. The texts come from Caxton in 1483. The illustrations are from the Latin edition of Aesop printed by Gerard Leeu at Antwerp in 1486 (i.e., Bodemann, #11.1). These woodcuts are clearly in the Steinhöwel tradition. Was this brochure a trial or prospectus for a projected but never accomplished work of the Grabhorn Press? Or perhaps just a little project of Jane Grabhorn's? Serendipity's helpful people seemed to suggest the latter.
