Abstract
283 pages. Bodemann makes this book a descendant of the 1489 Libro del Ysopo from Zaragossa and, even further back, from Julien Macho. Bodemann mentions that there are 27 illustrations to the Vida and 167 to the fables. The clincher that we have the same edition here is the title of the book's second element: Vida del agudísimo y muy escelente filósofo moral Esopo. I find the illustrations endearing. They are more 17th century in approach than 19th century. A good example is El Caballo, y el Asno (117). Lined shading is everything for this artist! The title-page is missing, and so are the last several pages at the end. The T of C gets only to Chapter 27 of the 28 chapters in the Vida, and there is no T of C for the fables themselves.
