Fabulae Aesopicae is a 1590 Latin collection of Aesop's fables, edited by Joachim Camerarius with work by Gregor Bersman and Gabriello Faerno, printed at Leipzig for a scholarly readership. The woodcuts are small, framed, and crisp, with dense hatching and clear silhouettes of trees, animals and figures that a designer could adapt for emblem-style or narrative panels.
