介绍（中）	这本流行的道德故事书，其中大部分涉及动物，是用于教幼儿（主要是男孩）阅读的标准文本之一。十五世纪的意大利至少出现了四个不同的插图版本，其中最引人注目的是法学家和人文主义者弗朗切斯科·德尔·图波于 1485 年出版的版本。德尔·图波（Del Tuppo）提供了该文本的新意大利语翻译，将他的伊索生平建立在阿雷佐的里努修斯（Rinucius of Arezzo）的拉丁语翻译之上，他的寓言则基于十二世纪匿名的诗句记载。他还增加了解释和评论。虽然本书中一些插图的构图来自 1479 年第一幅插图伊索（21.4.3）的插图，但八十八幅剪裁的活力和装饰风格使它们完全与众不同。无论是西班牙艺术家在西班牙控制的那不勒斯工作的产品，还是通过西西里岛到达那不勒斯的摩尔人影响的反映，还是德国艺术家在意大利传统中工作的结果，这些插图都具有惊人的原创性。伊索的神话生活，一系列道德化的叙述，发挥了伊索的小丑外表——他被誉为一个头超大的驼背侏儒——与他的伟大智慧和善良背道而驰。这幅插图展示了伊索如何被他的两个奴隶同伴诬告吃他主人的无花果，他如何通过喝一瓶温水让自己呕吐，只露出胃里的水来证明自己的清白。然后，有罪的一方被迫反刍被盗的无花果。
介绍（英）	This popular book of moralized tales, most of which involve animals, was among the standard texts used to teach young children (mainly boys) to read. At least four different illustrated editions appeared in Italy in the fifteenth century, of which the most remarkable is that published by the jurist and humanist Francesco del Tuppo in 1485. Del Tuppo provided a new Italian translation of the text, basing his life of Aesop on the Latin translation of Rinucius of Arezzo and his fables on an anonymous twelfth-century verse account. He also added interpretation and commentary. While the composition of some of the book's illustrations derives from those of the first illustrated Aesop of 1479 (21.4.3), the vigorous and decorative style of the eighty-eight cuts sets them entirely apart. Whether the product of a Spanish artist working in Spanish-controlled Naples, a reflection of the Moorish influence that had reached Naples through Sicily, or the result of a German artist working in the Italian tradition, the illustrations are of an astonishing originality. The mythical life of Aesop, a series of moralizing narratives, plays off Aesop's clownish appearance—he was reputed to be a hunchbacked dwarf with an outsized head—against his great wisdom and goodness. This illustration shows how Aesop, falsely accused by two of his fellow slaves of eating his master's figs, proves his innocence by drinking a vessel of warm water and making himself vomit, revealing nothing but water in his stomach. The guilty party is then compelled to regurgitate the stolen figs.
