Book Description
Excerpt from Seventeenth Annual Report of the Dante Society (Cambridge, Mass;): May 17, 1898 Since this last was the most widely known fable-book of the Middle Ages, we should expect Dante to have been familiar with it, and his phrase Esopo poeta seems to indicate that he at least knew some met tical version yet since he uses the somewhat rare word margarita,8 and not one corresponding to iaspide, it seems likely that he had here the version of Romulus in mind. Perhaps he knew both Romulus and Anon. N cv., and quoting from memory combined the two or, he may have been influenced in his choice of words by the verse of the Bible to which he refers. This reads in the Vulgate (matt. VII, 6) About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
