1561 Aesop's Fables Greek Mythology Planudes Life of AESOP Homer Latin & Greek
"A doubtful friend is worse than a certain enemy. Let a man be one thing or the other, and we then know how to meet him."
― Aesop, Aesop's Fables
Aesop's fables have been printed for centuries and include some of the most famous fables and tales of all time. Originating sometime in the 6th- to 7th-century BC, these tales have appeared in popular culture for well over 2000 years in the form of books, plays, songs, and visual media.
Sixteenth-century examples of Aesop are increasingly rare, and this 1561 printing is no exception. The fables of this edition are preceded by the famous 'Life of Aesop' by Planudes. In addition to Aesop's Fables, it includes several additional works including:
· Galeomyomachia by Theodorus Prodromus
· Batrachomyomachia, attributed to Homer

"What is it which all men especially desire? Eternal life and happiness?" ¬
– James Ussher
James Ussher was an early 17th-century Archbishop in the Church of Ireland who is most remembered for giving an exact date to the beginning of creation. His full body of work includes letters, sermons, dissertations, and exegesis but this work focuses solely on improving the Christians life and strengthening their faith.
One of Ussher's lesser-known books was his 'Power Communicated by God to the Prince. This work, which was dedicated to Charles II of England, seeks to answer the question 'Where does a magistrates power come from - from Heaven or from Men?'. Ussher notes the church's inherent power over ecclesiastical governments, but also the conflicts that come from a power struggle between church and external governments.
This first 1683 first edition is exceedingly rare and valuable. It was one of the important Ussher… Read More
