Third edition of this school book with the text of the Phaedrus Fables edited by a certain Emanuel Sincerus, a pseudonym of Esaias Schneider (1684-1731) or one of his followers who used the same pseudonym which had become a synonym of an "Excellent editor for texts to be used by young pupils" (für Schulaugaben). Esaias Schneider had become famous for having edited the Latin writers Cornelius Nepos and Curtius Rufus together with extended notes in German especially designed for Schools. Many texts followed which were edited in the same manner.
Our Phaedrus edition was first published in 1738; second edition in 1757.
