Abstract
I rejoiced a year and a half ago to bring a second edition Nevelet from 1660 into the collection (Bodemann #60.2) and then recently added his first from 1610(Bodemann #60.1). Now here is a third edition, "Secundum Editionem Isaacii Nicolai Niveleti." The title-page adds "Praeponitur Historia Vitae, Morum, Fortunae, & Interitus Aesopi. Composita studio Joachimi Camerarii: Et adjicitur Cebetis Tabula. In Usum Scholae Aetonensis." The book reorganizes Nevelet's work and presents it without the excellent illustrations of or after Solis. There are three segments, each separately paginated. After the title-page, there is the Latin vita on 1-66. There follow Greek fables on 1-127, including 149 from Aesop; 40 from Aphthonius; 43 from Gabrius; 11 from Babrius; and Cebes' "Tabula." The third section offers on 132 pages Latin translations, numbered according to the Greek texts of the second section. The anonymus Neveleti fables from the first two editions are not here. I would say that this is a dense schoolbook! As not illustrated it is not in Bodemann. 3½" x 6".
