Topic: Ysopet

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Marie de France
		She was a native of Normandy and lived in the second half of the twelfth century, because she uses the pure Norman dialect of that time, and the two personages alluded to in her works were Henry II of England and his son William, Count of Salisbury.
		Marie's contributions to French literature consist of lays, the "Ysopet", and a romance published by Roquefort under the title, "Legend of the Purgatory of Saint Patrick".
		The "Ysopet" is a collection of 103 fables translated into French from the English translation of Henry Beauclerc.

	Marie de France - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Among those that have been taken most seriously are Marie, Abbess of Shaftesbury and half-sister to Henry II, King of England; Marie, Abbess of Reading; Marie de Boulogne; and most compelling of all, Marie de Meulan, wife of Hugh Talbot.
		Four works have been attributed to Marie de France, including 12 "Breton lais" (or lays), the "Ysopet" fables, the Legend of the Purgatory of St. Patrick, and, most recently, a saint's life called La Vie seinte Audree or The Life of Saint Audrey.
		Scholars have dated Marie's works between about 1160 at the earliest, and about 1215 at the latest, though it is probably that they were written between about 1170 and 1205.

	Marie de France
		The manuscripts in which Marie's poems are preserved date from the late 13th or even the 14th century, but the language fixes the date of the poems in the second half of the 12th century.
		The Lais are dedicated to an unknown king, who is identified as King Henry II of England; and the fables, her Ysopet, were written according to the Epilogus for a Count William, generally recognized to be William Longsword, Earl of Salisbury.
		Marie's Ysopet is translated from an English original which she erroneously attributed to Alfred the Great, who had, she said, translated it from Latin.

		Satirical writing found a congenial soil in France, where the interminable chansons de geste required a relief.
		Thus were produced Le Roman de Renart and the fables bestiaires, often attributed to Ysopet, the French counterpart of Aesop.
		But Le Roman de la Rose stands out as the most important production of the kind and as exercising a wide-reaching influence on the literature of Europe.

	Aesop (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		In the early 1200s some of Aesop's tales were adapted for use in the European Jewish community by Berechiah ha-Nakdan, a Jewish exegete, ethical writer, grammarian, and translator; his name means "Berechiah the Puntuator (or grammarian)", indicating his possible profession.
		Today he is best known for his Hebrew work, Mishlei Shualim, which appears to be derived from a collection of Aesop's fables, from the French writer Ysopet of Marie de France (c.1170).
		Berechiah's work adds a layer of Biblical quotations and allusions in the tales, adapting them as a way to teach Jewish ethics.

	MARIE DE FRANCE
		She appears to have been a habitual guest of the court of Henry II of England and his wife, Queen Eleanor of Aquitaine.
		Evidence of this fact can be traced to her dedication of her lais to King Henry and her "Ysopet" to his son, William, Count of Salisbury.
		Sadly, other than these scraps of biographical information, the only information known about her concerns her literary style.

		For the love of Count William, the most valiant of this realm, I undertook to write this book and to translate it from English into French.
		This book is called Ysopet, after the one who translated it from Greek into Latin and had it written down.
		King Alfred, who esteemed it highly, then translated it into English, and I have rendered it, exactly as I found it, into French verse.

	The Aesopic Fable Criticism and Essays \| John E. Keller and L. Clark Keating (essay date 1993)
		[In the following essay, Keller and Keating trace the history of Aesopic fables in Spain until the fifteenth-century publication of the Spanish Ysopet.]
		Aesop's Fables, with a Life of Aesop—in Spanish La vida del Ysopet con sus fabulas hystoriadas—along with versions with similar titles in many western languages, represents the apogee of that body of stories we know as Aesop's Fables.
		This may seem an unusual statement to make, since the Ysopet, as we shall term it in this introduction, was not translated into Castilian until the late fifteenth century and not printed in its entirety in Spain until 1489.
