First of this modern reprint edition, being a facsimile of an unidentified early printing of the noted 17th century translation. Tight and handsome. Interestingly, though not so noted, this copy came from the collection of noted Midwest children's book etcher and author Art Geisert, who used it in researching the edition of Aesop's fables he illustrated -- Barbara Bader's 1991 "Aesop & Company" (Houghton Mifflin).
