Note

Edition of 64 Æsopic, and 18 fables of Avianus in Latin and Old French. The Æsopic fables are, with a few exceptions, derived from the paraphrase of Romulus in distichs known as "Esopus moralisatus" ("Anonymus Neveleti") by some authorities ascribed to Walter of England.--The text is based in the main upon three closely related illustrated mss. of the 14th century (Brussels, Bibl. roy. 11193; Brit. Mus. Add. 33781; Paris, Bibl. nat. fonds franç. 1594) The title "Ysopet-Avionnet" was originally given to the fable of Avianus alone (cf. A.C.M. Robert, Fables inédites ... vol. I, 1825) ; in this edition it denotes the 2 parts; Isopet of Aesop, and Avionnet or Avianus.
In the plates "we have reproduced from the rotary prints (hence white on black), and on a somewhat reduced scale, the complete series of illustrations which appeared in P [the Paris ms.] together with a few characteristic selections from the series in B and L [the Brussels and London mss.]" cf. Introd.
