A 1518 Greek and Latin edition of Aesop's fables and related Greek fable texts, printed in Basel by Johann Froben and based on Aldo Manuzio's scholarship, intended for classical scholars and students. The pictures are woodcut decorative borders and a framed architectural title scene with small figures in arched niches, showing dense foliage, scrolls, and grotesque animal forms that a designer could draw on for ornamental borders and early printed page layouts.
