Kalila and Dimna

Kalila wa-Dimna

Ibn al-Muqaffa‘ · ابن المقفع

Ibn al-Muqaffa‘’s animal fables in the original Arabic, complete in 238 pages — all nineteen chapters. Made from a lost Middle Persian version of the Sanskrit Panchatantra, and from this Arabic they passed into Greek, Hebrew, Latin, Spanish and eventually La Fontaine. Text from Arabic Wikisource.

Set in Scheherazade New at 13.5pt over 1.9 leading, bound right-to-left. The fables nest — a story inside a story inside a frame — so each opening is marked clearly enough that you can see which level you are on.
