Aesop's Fables: Steinhowel1.1. Fabula prima de gallo et margarita In sterquilinio quidam pullus gallinatius dum quaereret escam, invenit margaritam in loco indigno iacentem, quam cum videret iacentem sic ait, O bona res, in stercore hic iaces! si te cupidus invenisset, cum quo gaudio rapuisset ac in pristinum decoris tui statum redisses! ego frustra te in hoc loco invenio iacentem, ubi potius mihi escam quaero, et nec ego tibi prosum, nec tu mihi. haec aesopus illis narrat, qui ipsum legunt et non intellegunt.
Steinhowels Asop, ed. Hermann Osterley (1873). Some of these fables have digitized text; others have only page images. The digital page images are from Google Books. You can also consult the illustrated 1501 edition of Steinhowel's Aesop. Note that Book 7 contains poems from Avianus, so there is no text or page image for the fables in Book 7. |
