1593 Aesop’s Fables Mythology GREEK Zanneti + Agapetus Hagia Sophia Justinian

 

“A doubtful friend is worse than a certain enemy. Let a man be one thing or the other, and we then know how to meet him.”

― Aesop, Fables

 

Aesop’s fables have been printed for centuries and include some of the most famous fables and tales of all time. Originating sometime in the 6^th to 7^th century BC, these tales have appeared in popular culture for well over 2000 years in the form of books, plays, songs, and visual media.

 

Sixteenth-century examples of Aesop are increasingly rare, and this 1593 Zanneti example is no exception. This fine printing also includes a rare text by Agapetus, deacon of the church of St. Sophia at Constantinople – advice to Christian princes and expectation of their duties which was presented to Emperor Justinian in the year 527. This work is commonly published alongside Aesop.
