About This Item
[8], 84, 308 pp.Amsterdam reprint of an edition published in Rouen of this interesting School edition of the Phaedrus fables (pp. 1-205) in Latin verses with notes underneath and a French translation in prose on facing pages, together with a choice collection of 49 fables of De La Fontaine, numbered after the related Phaedrus fable, and followed by an extensive dictionary of words etc. occurring in the fables. The book starts with an unusual presentation of the fables of the first two books of the Phaedrus fables: each Latin verse with a line-for-line French translation with interlinear added letters (a-z and *) referring to the following complicated grammatical Règles. Poor French pupils!The edition seems to be composed by Prof. Philippe Dumas (1738-1782) director of the College dIssoudun and professor of Rhetoric at the University of Tolouse. Some annotations (1796), some slight soiling and foxing, corners bumped, top of spine damaged.l Landwehr, F172; Schwabe/Barbier, 105.
