A collection of 107 fables drawn from Greek, Jewish, Hindu and Arab

expressive black & white woodcuts, the anthology is written in agile rhymed
prose and includes some original stories by the author, who is also known as
Berachya. A nakdan, translator, grammarian, poet, ethicist and philosopher
working at the beginning of the thirteenth century, he references the Talmud,
adds biblical allusions and gives a Jewish spirit to his interpretations of
these Fox Fables. Text in Hebrew; table of contents and Goldschmidt’s
introduction in German. “Nach der ersten Ausgabe herausgegeben und
eingeleitet von Lazarus Goldschmidt.” A significant work that greatly
expands this distinctive literary genre in the Hebrew language.
