Ezopische fabelen van Fedrus, gevryden slaef des keizers Augustus - Phaedrus; Hoogstraten, David van 1658-1724 (Amsterdam Halma, 1743)
Gaius Julius Phaedrus or Phaeder (c. 15 BC–c. 50 AD) was a 1st-century AD Roman fabulist and the first versifier of a collection of Aesop's fables into Latin. Nothing is recorded of his life except for what can be inferred from his poems, and there was little mention of his work during late antiquity. It was not until the discovery of a few imperfect manuscripts during and following the Renaissance that his importance emerged, both as an author and in the transmission of the fables.
