Abstract
Odo died in 1247. This work is a curious and engaging congeries of scripture, Aesop, Reynard and other typical sources of medieval literature. The focus seems more on allegory than on fable or even on story. Are these fables aimed particularly against the clergy? The illustrations, contemporary with Odo, were originally done without reference to fables. There is a long introduction and an excellent bibliography.
