Illustration of Aesop’s Fable the braggart (ca. 1480). The Medici Aesop, codex in the New York Public Library (Spencer 50). The fables are recounted in Greek. It was created during the latter part of the quattrocento period in Florence, at that time under the rule of Lorenzo de’Medici (1449-1492), who appears to have personally commissioned this work. It first appears in a catalogue of the Medici library compiled in 1495. http://digitalgallery.nypl.org/nypldigital/id?1169457
