From Wiki: Phaedrus, (born c. 15 bc, Thrace-died ad 50, Italy), Roman fabulist, the first writer to Latinize whole books of fables, producing free versions in iambic metre of Greek prose fables then circulating under the name of Aesop. Enlarged fourth edition of the original edition of the Burman redaction of the Phaedrus fables in Latin (Amsterdam, 1698). Petrus Burman the Elder (1668-1741) became famous as a scholar throughout Europe due to his numerous editorial and critical works, with his Phaedrus edition being the first. As compiler, he is especially known for his learning and accuracy. Added are prefaces, commentaries and notes by Marqautus Gudius (1635-1686), Conradus Ritterhusius (1560-1613), Nicolaus Rigaltius (1577-1654), Isaacus Neveletus (added for the first time in this edition), Nicolaus Heinsius (1620-1681), Joannes Scheffer (1621-1679) and Johannes Ludivicus Praschius (1637-1690).
