The most complete corpus of the proverbs and fables of Aesop ever assembled Ben Edwin Perry's 'Aesopica' remains the definitive edition of all fables reputed to be by Aesop. The volume begins traditionally with a life of Aesop, but in two different and previously unedited Greek versions, with collations that record variations in the major recensions. It includes 179 proverbs attributed to Aesop and 725 carefully organized fables, for which Perry also provides their eldest known sources. To better evaluate the place of Aesop in literary history, Perry includes testimonies about Aesop made by Greek and Latin authors, from Herodotus to Maximus Planudes.

The best-selling Hitopadeśa gives its reader much more than Friendly Advice. In one handy collection—closely related to the world-famous Pañcatantra or Five Discourse on Worldly Wisdom — Naráyana’s book combines numerous animal fables with human stories, all designed to instruct wayward princes. Tales of canny procuresses compete with those of cunning crows and tigers. An intrusive ass is simply thrashed by his master, but the meddlesome monkey ends up with his testicles crushed. One prince manages to enjoy himself with a merchant’s wife with her husband’s consent, while another is kicked out of paradise by a painted image. This volume also contains the compact version of King Víkrama’s Adventures, thirty-two popular tales about a generous emperor, told by thirty-two statuettes adorning his lion-throne.

Fable, fabula, mythos : la fable est, à la Renaissance, la définition même de la poésie. Que ce soit dans son acception d’allégorie, empruntée à l’herméneutique néo-platonicienne et aux théories exégétiques de la Bible, ou au sens de mimèsis, issu de la redécouverte de la Poétique d’Aristote, la fable a posé aux poéticiens de la Renaissance un problème théorique majeur, provoquant nombre de discussions sur la nature même du fait littéraire. La poésie est-elle voile, écorce d’un altior sensus enfoui sous la fiction ? Est-elle lieu de vérité ? Est-elle, au contraire, lieu de vraisemblable, espace d’artifice pur où se dirait l’habileté du poète à refigurer le réel ? Ou peut-être, comme le pensera le Tasse, tiendrait-elle à la fois de l’un et de l’autre, du feint et du vrai, définie alors comme création d’une merveille, où l’idée et le langage en tant que tels vaudraient autant que la fiction ? Interrogé dans ses fondements mêmes, le concept de fable, qui a dominé le XVIe siècle comme critère de poéticité, verra son empire graduellement menacé, dans les dernières décennies, par l’émergence de valeurs nouvelles, issues de la rhétorique, de la philosophie et de la théorie de l’art, qui permettront de repenser la poésie au sens large et de poser les premiers jalons de la théorie littéraire moderne.
