Abstract

For this Fable both Ademar and the Weissenburg MS. fail us. We have, however, the representatives of R, which Thiele groups under his Recensio Gallicana, and one which he places in his Recensio Vetus; of the other two one does not contain it, and the third, the Erfordtensis at Berlin, has a wholly independent version, which Thiele most strangely regards as imported from ‘Phaedrus in prose,’ although neither in diction nor in remnants of metre has it anything to suggest such an origin. His ‘restoration’ may accordingly be neglected.
