FABLES. _Tr._ by J. Davidson, 1745.

FIFTY FABLES OF PHÆDRUS, in Latin, French and English. _Tr._ by D. Bellamy, 1734.

'Phaedrus put into verse the Greek fables--commonly fathered all alike on "Æsop"--which he could find current in his day. The collection is probably much the same as that of the Greek "Demetrius Phalereus" (300 B.C.). From the point of view of both morals and language, the book served admirably for schoolboys, and it is at least one of the main sources of the fables which found their way into England, first with Alfred, and, later, in more force with Caxton's "Æsop"'.

=PILPAY= (=BÍDPÁÍ=). =Oriental fabulist.=

[1] THE MORALL PHILOSOPHIE OF DONI--drawne out of Ancient Writers ... _Tr._ by Sir T. North, 1570.

THE INSTRUCTIVE AND ENTERTAINING FABLES OF PILPAY made English (for the Duke of Gloucester), 1679.

[1] [This celebrated Arabian fable-book, 'Calilah i Dumnah' (_q.v._) is better known in Europe as 'Pilpay's Fables'.]

Several European fabulists, including Æsop, La Fontaine, have drawn largely from the fables of P.

=PINDAR.= _b._ 522, _d._ 442 B.C. =Greek lyric poet.=

PINDARIQUES. B. R. Fleming. (A translation of four of the Odes of Pindar, etc.). 1691.

Horace modelled his work on Pindar. Imitated by Cowley in 'Pindaric Odes', by Dryden in 'Song for St. Cecilia's Day', 'Alexander's Feast', by Pope, in 'Ode on St. Cecilia's Day', by Gray in 'Progress of Poesy', by Shelley in 'Ode to Liberty'.

'Milton's "Ode on the Morning of the Nativity" is intended to be Pindaric'.

WORKS OF PLATO, abridg'd, with an account of his life, philosophy, morals and politics, together with a translation of his choicest dialogues. By M. Dacier. _Tr._ from the French, 1701.

The 'Republic' is the model for all ideal commonwealths, e.g. More's 'Utopia', Bacon's 'New Atlantis', etc. Berkeley's 'Alciphron' is based on the 'Dialogues'.

The philosophy of P. influenced the poetry of Shelley, and Wordsworth's 'Intimations of Immortality'. His philosophy has affected all subsequent philosophers.

=PLAUTUS, TITUS MACCIUS.= _b._ 254, _d._ 184 B.C. =Roman comedian.=

COMEDIES. Amphitryon, Epidicus and Rudens. _Tr._ by [Laurence Echard]. 1694.

MENAECMI. A pleasant comœdie. Written in Englishe by W. W[arner], 1595.

Formed type of Italian comedy of Renaissance. Shakespeare's 'Comedy of Errors' is an adaptation from Plautus's 'Menaechmi'. Dryden's 'Amphitryon' is adapted from Plautus through Molière.

'Sackville sought his comic models in Plautus'.

=PLINY= (=GAIUS PLINIUS SECUNDUS=). _The elder._ _b._ 23, _d._ 79. =Latin writer.=

THE HISTORIE OF THE WORLD, commonly called the Natural Historie of Pliny. _Tr._ by P. Holland, 1601.

A SUMMARIE OF THE ANTIQUITIES AND

WONDERS OF THE WORLDE, abstracted out of the sixtene first bookes of Pliny. _Tr._ by J. R. [1565].

An important source of our knowledge of early science.

'Doubtless Pliny's "Encyclopædia" is ultimately responsible for much of the confused natural history of the Middle Ages, and not only Chaucer, but also the sixteenth century Euphuists, with their egregious similitudes, are almost certainly in his debt'.

=PLINY, CAIUS.= (=CAIUS PLINIUS CAECILIUS SECUNDUS.=) _The younger._ _b._ 61 A.D., =Latin author and orator.=

THE LETTERS OF PLINY THE CONSUL, with occasional remarks by Wm. Melmoth, 1746.

THE PHILOSOPHIE, COMMONLY CALLED THE MORALS. _Tr._ by P. Holland, 1603.

A RIGHT NOBLE HISTORY OF THE SUCCESSORS OF ALEXANDER AND SOME OF THEIR LIVES. Written by ... P. etc., 1569.

Shakespeare used North's tr. of Plutarch's 'Lives' freely for his plots as is seen in _Coriolanus_, _Julius Caesar_. P. also initiated the biographical essay, of whom we have the best exponent in Macaulay. Has formed a model for all later writers.

'He is said to have resembled Voltaire in his talent for ridicule and his versatility. He suffered much political persecution'.

[1] One of the 'picaresque or rogue' novels, of which 'Jack Wilton' by Nash was the first example in English. It was later followed by 'Moll Flanders' and 'Colonel Jack' by Defoe, the 'Joseph Andrews' of Fielding, the 'Roderick Random' and 'Peregrine Pickle' of Smollett. In the nineteenth century we find it imitated by Dumas in 'The Three Musketeers' and also in some of the later minor novelists.

=ROMANCE OF THE ROSE.= By Guillaume de Lorris and Jean de Meung.

THE ROMAUNT OF THE ROSE. _Ed._ by Dr. Max Kaluza. [From the Glasgow MS. Published by the _Chaucer Soc._ The first 1704 lines are probably Chaucer's.] 1890.

[This was translated by Chaucer and some of his predecessors, and the MS. of part of it is in existence.]

Chaucer and Gower borrowed freely from the 'Roman de la Rose'. This romance was familiar in both France and England before Chaucer's time. Wace and Benoît de Sainte-More written by Anglo-Normans.

It was the reading of this work that influenced the first efforts of Chaucer. During the epoch which is called the Chaucerian, authors known and nameless used the stock of mediaeval France as freely and as monotonously as the French themselves.

=RONSARD, PIERRE DE.= _b._ 1524, _d._ 1585. =Eminent French poet.=

Some translations from Ronsard will be found in 'Ronsard and La Pléiade', by G. Wyndham, 1906.

Ronsard and Du Bellay are the two most important names of the 'Pléiade'. The followers of R., through the Italian school introduced the 'classical' style of verse into England. 'The English poets also read Du Bellay, who finally established the sonnet and at the same time served as a pattern for English writers. One writer of the Ronsardist School, Du Bartas, was a writer of real religious conviction, and his "Semaine" or "Week of Creation", translated by Sylvester, gained no small currency in England'.

THE SOCIAL CONTRACT. (1762). _Tr._ 1763.

VARIOUS WORKS. Letter to D'Alembert on the Effects of Theatrical Entertainments on mankind. _Tr._ 1759.

R., whether in a novel or in his 'Confessions', is the first writer in modern Europe to expatiate upon inanimate nature in connexion with the feelings. Affected English poetry in the early nineteenth century.

'How much of the "Nature Worship" of Wordsworth and his age may be due to this example can hardly be estimated, but the name of R. was a familiar one in England, and by him was sown much of the seed which our own revivalists watered'.

'The works of Rousseau have exercised a direct and uncommon influence upon English literature, which it is hard to define. There is no doubt he is the "Father of modern democracy"' (Prof. Lowell).

=SAGAS.=

'The Icelandic Sagas'--the prose histories of the fortunes of the great Icelandic houses--are the last, and also the finest, expression and record of the spirit and the ideas belonging properly to the Germanic race in its own right, and not derived from Rome or Christendom'.

An immense imaginative literature is growing up around the Sagas. To mention only a few prominent writers who have received their inspiration from these sources, we have, Baring-Gould in 'Grettir the Outlaw' (1889), the works of Henty and Ballantyne, R. Leighton's 'Olaf the Glorious' (1894), Du Chaillu's 'Olaf the Viking' (1893), Kingsley's 'Hereward', etc., Longfellow, W. Morris in 'Sigurd' and 'Earthly Paradise', and Arnold's 'Balder Dead', etc., etc.

Tr. also by Wm. Morris and [1] Eirikr Magnússon (1892), who describe it as 'a mixture of a saga, or dramatically told tale, and a chronicle record of events outside its aim and purpose'. Period, 884-1031; principal events between 986-98. Written between 1230-60, according to Vigfússon. 'Unquestionably the oldest of all the sagas of Iceland'.

[1] Includes also a _tr._ of Heiôarviga Saga, 'Story of the Heath-Slayings'.

GRETTIR SAGA. _Tr._ by Eirikr Magnússon and Wm. Morris. 1869.

HAMLET IN ICELAND. _Tr._ by I. Gollancz, 1898.

'Of importance chiefly on account of the use Shakespeare made of another version of the same story. The present version belongs to the 16th or the early 17th century, the major part of it having been derived from Saxo-Grammaticus, the Danish historiographer (late 12th century), and remodelled under the influence of popular folk tales, Carlovingian, and Arthurian romances, and the stories of Tamburlane'.
