Description
Aesop’s fables are part of a pan-Eurasian folklore tradition shared with the Jataka tales of the Buddha’s previous lives: tales such as “The fox and the crow” appear in Aesop with one moral and in the Jatakas with a very different interpretation. This bilingual chapbook was “intended for the use of schools” – in 1815 this meant mainly hedge schools. Ireland’s intersection with Buddhist Asia was not necessarily restricted to elites (and not necessarily always recognised as such).
