Zusammenfassung:According to a fifteenth-century biography, the legendary fable teller Aesop was often considered ignorant and dumb because of his physical deformities. Hans Rijns and Willem van Bentum are the editors of this high-quality critical edition and translation of an early Dutch version, Dye hystorien ende fabulen van Esopus, printed by Gheraert Leeu in 1485. The explanatory notes of the primary text in Middle Dutch stipulate parallels in the German and French version and refer to relevant secondary sources.
