Error message

Deprecated function: Optional parameter $text declared before required parameter $format is implicitly treated as a required parameter in include_once() (line 1439 of /var/www/drupal/aldine/includes/bootstrap.inc).

This is a very unusual volume. It is not the complete Aldine Aesop, nor does it contain the Fables at all; rather, the last 44 leaves, containing the collection of Proverbs by Tarrha & Didymus, and from the Suda, etc. Ruled throughout with red ink, initials in gold and colors.

See item #27 in the catalogue of Robert Hoe, at https://archive.org/details/catalogueoflibra12hoer

It has no title page. The end papers are rather arresting. The Aldine Anchor & Dolphin device appears on p 94.
