Abstract
Here is a little treasure. The title is a bit exaggerated. Let me list the sources for the twenty-one chapters that fill its 284 pages: Hitopadesa, Bidpai, Locmann, Saadi's Rosengarten, Aesop, Phädrus, Boner, Waldis, Sachs, Gellert, von Hagedorn, Lessing, Gleim, Willamow, Lichtwer, Zachariä, Pfeffel, Ramler, Langbein, la Fontaine, and Lachambeaudie. Between five ancients, and two French, there are fourteen German writers! Aller Völker? The twelve hand-colored illustrations on cardboard are excellent. This is a triumph for hand-coloring! Besides the illustration of a woman telling a story to children -- on both the front-cover and the title-page -- The Monkey and the Cat is the frontispiece. Others include: The Man with the Snake (16); WC (48); The Shipwreck of Simonides (64); The Ass and the Three Brothers (80); The Lioness and Her Children (96); The Dog (112); The Woman and the Spirit (130); The Unusual Men (176; a loose page); Diogenes (224); and Das Grosse Loos (240). There is a complete T of C at the end.
