	Babrius - LoveToKnow 1911
		He is supposed to have been a Roman, whose gentile name was possibly Valerius, living in the East, probably in Syria, where the fables seem first to have gained popularity.
		There is no mention of Babrius in ancient writers before the beginning of the 3rd century A.D., and his language and style seem to show that he belonged to that period.
		The first critic who made Babrius more than a mere name was Richard Bentley, in his Dissertation on the Fables of Aesop.

	Babrius
		Babrius was the author of a collection of fables written in Greek.
		Tyrwhitt (De Babrio, 1776) followed up the researches of Bentley, and for some time the efforts of scholars were directed towards reconstructing the metrical original of the prose fables.
		In 1842 M Minas, a Greek, the discoverer of the Philosophoumena of Hippolytus, came upon a manuscript of Babrius in the convent of St Laura on Mount Athos, now in the British Museum.

	Aesop - LoveToKnow 1911 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Babrius, according to Crusius, a Roman and tutor to the son of Alexander Severus, turned the fables into choliambics in the earlier part of the 3rd century A.D. The most celebrated of the Latin adapters is Phaedrus, a freedman of Augustus.
		The collections which we possess under the name of Aesop's Fables are late renderings of Babrius's version or Hpo-yv ando sari, rhetorical exercises of varying age and merit.
		Syntipas translated Babrius into Syriac, and Andreopulos put the Syriac back again into Greek.

	Ph. Renault - L’esclave et le précepteur (Phèdre et Babrius)
		Pour Babrius qui écrivit une génération à peine après Phèdre (vers 70-80 de notre ère), il en est tout autrement : c'est un nanti, un érudit, un homme de cabinet et la seule manifestation d'animosité que l'on décèle dans ses écrits est dirigée contre ceux qui plagient son œuvre.
		Le quasi « olympianisme » qui caractérise Babrius n'a rien à voir avec l'élan ombrageux de Phèdre que de nombreux historiens, par ailleurs, lui ont reproché à l'instar de Léopold Hervieux [
		S'il eût connu les fables de Babrius, soyons-en sûrs, sa verve imitative se serait tournée davantage vers le fabuliste de langue grecque que vers l'auteur latin.

	Aesop`s Fables by Aesop: Introductory Note
		A Greek prose version of Babrius was accepted for centuries as the original Aesop.
		The history of collections of fables in Europe from Phaedrus and Babrius down is one of incredible complexity, on many of the details of which scholars are yet far from agreement.
		Additions to the common stock have come in from a vast variety of sources; the stories have been retold scores of times, so that there is nothing approaching an authentic text; yet the name of Aesop has clung till it has become merely a convenient name for this particular type of allegorical beast-tale.

	Aesop Criticism and Essays
		Today, the Aesopic fable, which was developed in antiquity to teach political wisdom to adults, is commonly used to instruct children in practical wisdom and to entertain them with its fantasy world of talking animals.
		This Latin prose derivation of Phaedrus became the basis for three medieval Latin prose paraphrases referred to respectively as "Aesop of Ademar," "Aesop ad Rufum," and "Romulus," each of which modified the text by means of expansions, deletions, or additions.
		The fourth and last collection is the work of Babrius, who probably used Demetrius's prose fables of Aesop as the basis for his Greek verse version of the fables, produced perhaps in the late first or second century.

	BMCR-L: BMCR 2002.05.41, J. Vaio, The Mythiambi of Babrius
		Rutherford suggested that the use of Babrius' fables as a school text further contributed to this textual chaos (cf.
		It is a careful book which, while not tackling the big questions -- who was Babrius and when did he write (V. does note some Second Sophistic parallels) -- will find a place in the reference library of scholars interested in the textual history of Greek fables.
		Their text (prologue 1, fables 1-80, and complete apparatus criticus edited by Luzzatto; fables 81-143 and Addenda by La Penna) is more than serviceable and the apparatus is extraordinarily detailed, but disagreements abound (not least between the co-editors, as V. notes accurately).

		Babrius is still very weak, and slowly rebuilding himself.

		It is an indisputable fact that, if not altogether a myth, he is certainly not the author of the instructive fables which have been for so long attributed to him.
		The name of Babrius is one which, for the last hundred and eighty years, has been gradually becoming more and more significant to students of antiquity.
		That he was a fabulist of one or other of the Greek classical periods, who wrote in choliambic verse, was already evident from a few fragments preserved by lexicographers and grammarians.
