Gilbertus: Tetrastichorum in Fabulas Aesopicas XII
Tetrastichorum in Fabulas Aesopicas XII by Christianus Gilbertus (1690)
This remarkable little book contains 12 fables of Aesop in Greek tetrastichs which are then rendered into Latin verse, with each fable told in eight different meters: iambic, scazons, trochaic, hexameters, choriambic, hendecasyllables, Sapphic, and anapests. Amazing!
