“Ces deux volumes de la ‘Bibliothèque de Carabas’ (Bidpai et
Æsop) constituent l’examen le plus complet et le plus savant qui
ait été fait depuis Benfey de cette grande question de l’origine
et de la migration des fables, et la critique de l’auteur s’y
montre partout aussi sage que bien informée.”—M. A. BARTH, in
_Mélusine_.
“The degree and quality of the editor’s learning are not to
be doubted; it is varied, profound, and without a spice of
pedantry.”—_Scots Observer._
