Description

Dialogus creaturarum optime moralizatus

omnis materie morali iocundo modo applicabilis: ad laudem dei et edificationem hominum Incipit feliciter. (On the last leaf:) Paris, Philippe Pigouchet for Jean Petit, 1510. Cl.-8°. 64 roman foliated leaves, 8 unfoliated leaves (the last white). With a shotgun initial "S" on the first leaf. Modern vellum binding. Adams D-391 (erroneously states 64 leaves). Moreau I, p. 362: no. 83 (lists 8 copies worldwide). Pettegree & Walsby, French Books, 64907 (lists only the London copy). Not in the Bibliothèque nationale and not in Brunet. Like all early editions of this collection of fables, of great rarity. References in medieval collections suggest either Nicolaus Pergamenus or Maynus de Mayneriis as the author. The first edition was published in Gouda in 1480, splendidly illustrated with numerous woodcuts. This edition is completely unillustrated. Some of the 122 fables are taken from Aesop, such as the fable of the lion and the mouse, the ox and the frog, etc. Faint trace of moisture in the lower half of the leaf throughout the volume. Glue mark in the fold of the first leaf (from detaching from an anthology?).
