About This Item

[36], 272, [57], [1 blank] pp.Third edition of Johannes Scheffer’s extensively annotated text of Phaedrus’s Latin verse adaptation of Aesop’s fables, the first to include a French translation (in prose) probably by Louis-Isaac Lemaistre de Sacy (1613-1684), first added in the second Scheffer edition. The Latin text for each fable is set in italic type, followed by the French prose translation in a smaller roman and the Latin notes and commentary in two columns in a still smaller roman. Henric Curio, printer to the University of Uppsala in Sweden, published the first edition with Scheffer’s notes in 1663 (Latin only) and the second in 1667 (adding the French prose translation). Johannes Scheffer (1621-1679), one of the most important Swedish humanists of his time, was a professor at the University of Uppsala. In addition to Scheffer’s own notes, he added earlier notes by Franciscus Guyet (1575-1655) and others. Lacking the engraved frontispiece, but otherwise in good condition.l Landwehr, Emblem and fable books F170; VD17, 3:609053Q, 28:729091K, 1:043710C (6 copies); Schwabe/Barbier 60; STCN (4 copies); cf.
