介绍（中）	这些押韵寓言的作者Verdizotti在出版商的序言中也被确定为插图的设计者，他直接在木版上绘制了插图。除了这些木刻和一幅签名钢笔画之外，没有其他可以肯定地归因于韦尔迪佐蒂，瓦萨里、里多尔菲和多尔奇钦佩地提到他是提香的亲密朋友和天才学生（可能是他在阿雷蒂诺死后他的秘书）。这位高贵的威尼斯人业余从事诗歌和绘画，据说他画了许多由小人物活跃起来的小风景画，这些风景画即使在他有生之年也很少见，而且已经无法识别。从许多这些插图中可以了解这些画作是什么样的，其中风景起着如此重要的作用。在第35页的寓言中，乌鸦在饥饿的驱使下抓住了蛇，蛇扭过身来，将有毒的尖牙沉入乌鸦的腿中。现场充满了动作，受伤的鸟痛苦地站起来，张开喙大声喊道："我来干什么？我希望能维持我生命的食物反而导致了我的死亡。寓意是，当为自己的利益行事时，重要的是要考虑这种行为可能对他人造成的伤害或可能导致悲惨的结局。
介绍（英）	The author of these rhyming fables, Verdizotti, is also identified in the publisher's preface as the designer of its illustrations, which he drew directly on the woodblock for the cutter. Apart from these woodcuts and one signed pen drawing not else can be securely attributed to Verdizotti, who is mentioned admiringly by Vasari, Ridolfi, and Dolci as an intimate friend and gifted student of Titian (and possibly his secretary after the death of Aretino). The noble Venetian practiced poetry and drawing as an amateur and is said to have painted a number of small landscapes enlivened by little figures, which were rare even in his lifetime and can no longer be identified. It is possible to get some idea of what these paintings were like from many of these illustrations, in which landscape plays such an important role. In the fable with an illustration on page 35, the crow, driven by hunger, has seized upon the serpent, who twists around and sinks his venomous fangs into the crow's leg. The scene is full of action as the wounded bird rises up in pain and opens his beak to cry out, 'What am I come to? The food that I hoped would sustain my life has instead caused my death.' The moral is that when acting in one's own interest, it is important to consider the harm that this action may cause others or risk coming to a miserable end.
