“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, Aesop’s 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.

 

This rare 1737 printing was the first Italian edition of Aesop’s Fables published in Venice. Translated into Italian by Angelo Maria Ricci, this work features the original Greek text of the fables as well.
