Traducción y notas de P. Bádenas y J. López Facal. Introducción de C. G.ª Gual. Revisado por J. López Facal y P. Bádenas. Investigar la relación entre las diversas colecciones de fábulas en la historia de nuestra tradición occidental es un ejercicio arduo, por lo complicado de las relaciones y la dificultad de definir ciertos temas de origen o difusion popular. Las líneas generales de esa tradición fabulística son conocidas, pero en detalle quedan muchos puntos por precisar de esa historia fabulística, de la historia de este género menor que tuvo su exponente clásico y fundamental en la colección esópica.

[THE LIFE OF AESOP] AESOP (according to Planudes, Camerarius and others) was by Birth, of Ammorius, a Town in the greater Phrygia; (though some will have him to be a Thracian, others a Samian) of mean Condition, and his Person deformed, to the highest degree: Flat-nos'd, hunch-back'd, blobber-lipp'd; a long mishapen Head; his Body crooked all over, big-belly'd, badger-legg'd, and his Complexion so swarthy, that he took his very Name from't; for AEsop is with AEthiop.
